Don't know about the U.K., but here we have companies such as Borrow Lenses. Perhaps they have a European branch.

NO, but can suggest the next best thing. Link below is to a service that will provide reasonably priced custom profiles. If you only have a few papers to be profiled will be pretty economical. Plus you can interact with him.

The advantage is that if you only have a few papers it is more economcal to buy profiles from a reputable profile maker rather than invest in the cost of the spectrophotometer plus the learning curve etc.

Many of the reputable suppliers will interact with you and give some degree of technical support or customisation if you need it.

To each his own...

You might take a look at Red River Paper, they have some nice luster papers. Here is a link to their descriptions of their papers and what they feel are similar papers from other makers. Get a sample pack from paper vendors to test for yourself; What other people think about a paper may differ from what you think.

I like the look and feel of Epson's Ultra Premium Photo Luster and Red River's Arctic Polar Luster.

I only can recommend to get sample packs from different paper suppliers, I was pretty surprised how widely luster, silk, semiglossy type papers differ in their look, it is all a matter of personal preference
