The typical answers to this question found in most forums are "try and test on your own" and "it depends". This is somewhat disappointing whilst understandable. At the time I am testing dozens of papers looking for lower/mid priced but good quality papers. I have the hardware to profile and...

I took a closer look at the Expertiz papers and I have to correct myself. These papers are PE coated, you cannot write with a pencil on the smooth/slippery backside. Today I printed some dozens of greeting cards and I'm quite happy with the results.

When profiling new papers, I save both types, V2 and V4. In fact I cannot see any differences when color-proofing with V2 vs. V4. So V2 seems to be fine. Fotospeeds profiles are of V4 Type, so I cannot compare them via IccView...

I recently bought some Europrint 270/300g satin papers as well as PPD semigloss 280g. I'm quite happy with the Europrints. Apart from the much better haptics, they show a significantly larger color-gamut compared to LabelOcean. I profiled the papers using ccStudio and compared them with online...

I have vast stocks of CC paper which is very fine for simple/test prints and I already soaked up every information available in this forum back to 2010 :). So I'm done with CC paper for now. I already included Europrint (which nowadays is also sold at amazon) to my wishlist, remembering to look...

Family and friends. The strongest critic is myself. Rather dark, illuminated with high-CRI LEDs 2700K. A4, A3, A3+ Yes, you are right. I also played around with high/low key setups. Don't get me wrong: I'm not looking for statements like "XY is best paper for portrait". :) There are...

As an amateur photographer, I always enjoyed putting my photos on paper. Starting with my Epson Stylus Photo 700 back in the nineties, playing with non OEM inks and CIS, making printer profiles first with Datacolor Spyder Print, now with XRite Color Munki Photo. Most of the (many) printers I...

You have to be quick buying them. I was at our local Aldi store just at opening. They had only approx. 20-25 A4-packages. Well, they are cheap and perfectly fine for simple prints. I assume (but I am not sure) that they are CC, not PE. I just printed a photo and I would say the image quality is...

A couple of weeks ago, Aldi (Nord) sold Expertiz photopaper, A4 glossy 260grm at 5,99€/50 sheets in Germany. A little late to mention, but after a long pause of selling photopaper, this can feed some hope that they will offer them on a regulary basis again. I bought some packs but didn't print...
