Default Archival paper
I have done quite a few searches in this forum on archival papers to print on. I have found the names of different papers to use. my dilemma is that I just bought a epson r2880 printer... Where does everyone buy their archival paper? Is there a place/ company that DPS recommends or has ties to? Thanks in advance...

I have always heard good things about these guys, but have never used them, as the Canon paper I use is rated at one hundred years.

Most fine art papers are archival,

I tend to use Hahnemule, museo, moab and ilford papers. Once you start printing with fine art papers - it tends to come down to which texture of paper you like and how it affects the print.
