Hi JCO, I'm actually pretty happy with the Epson Glossy Photo Paper (the stuff that runs $10 to $13 or so for 20 sheets of 8x10). There's a Premium Glossy which I haven't used, so I'm not sure how different of a look it will have. The Epson Glossy out of my Epson 820 printer looks very much like a conventional print. I know some folks have said they don't generally like the Epson papers, so your mileage may vary. Not an answer to the question you asked, but Mark Roberts showed me some 11x14's he did on some Ilford rag paper, back while he was still in town here. Man, that stuff looked great! Of course, you get what you pay for, and that stuff was something like $5 a sheet. A little out of my range, for sure! Hope this helps.
