I suppose the answer should be, how long do you want your prints to last? other brand papers may not have the longevity of genuine Epson papers if used with genuine inks.
Having said that, I always had a preferance for Epson Premium Photo Glossy despite using brand X ink, I tried cheaper papers which were ok for occasional prints but always went back to Epson, However, since getting an A3 printer I have had to set my sights lower as the A3 Epson paper is extortionately expensive, I shopped around and came up with this on ebay link So far the results have been amazing, every bit as good as Epson at a fraction of the price, you could enquire as to the availability in you prefered size.

Think of this as a blessing in disguise, most peoples honeymoons fade into a distant memory, but you wont forget yours

PS; LOVE the pics, tell Fiona she has great legs

I hate you

I think Mikes pic doesn't look anything like a 100% view. However I can believe that it is, it was shot on a K10D after all

Noooooooo!

Your all at it again with this 100% crop malarky, please stop saying 100% crop, it is NOT a 100% crop! You mean viewed at 100%, if you were to crop an image by 100% there would be no image left to look at

Mark; you really need to upload some examples and also give details of shutter speed and aperture used, lack of sharpness can be caused by several factors.

It may also help if you check this out;

I find the BBC weather website quite good, I check it frequently and its pretty up to date with changes etc, I find planning my photography around that works better than picking a date only to find its raining, I slso check it before setting off anywhere.

Difficult if you only have weekends or certain days available I know but if your more flexible over getting out and about its worth looking at.

Ah but in a few years time you'll look back at them and think.....

......I wish I was still that good

Seriously though, get them posted on here for some C&C and we'll have you snapping masterpieces by the end of the year

And for the record I print some, hang some, enter some in competitions, win some, lose more, bin an awful lot, and keep the rest on the hard drive.

Thanks for the link Ken, made me chuckle though I didn't recognise quite all of them, (I failed on three)

I loved the streaker, the photographer even got the hair and beard right

Well in that case let me welcome you to the forum again.....

.....but really mean it this time
