No NO!

For my PERSONAL PRINTS, and I have a LOT of images to print, I can't
afford the Very expensive papers. WHEN I SELL one for  hundreds of
dollars I WILL use the best paper.  Its just that for my own use, I
can't justify the very high cost of Luminos papers. I have samples of
them and lyson prints. They are very very nice. But to be honest with
you there are other papers out there that I like as much that cost much
less. 

For instance if a paper is not pure white, I don't care WHAT its other
attributes are. I detest cream colored paper and simply will not use it.
 If someone who buys a print of mine says they want it on cream paper,
I'll print it on cream paper. but NOT for MY uses.

But only for MY prints. When I sell prints, I use better paper. As
stated many times before, I have found a paper I truly like and its
priced in my ballpark. Its Media Street's Dual Sided matte paper. I have
tried a LOT of papers during the last year, and I find none that make
better looking prints than this paper, unless you quadruple the price.
So until I find something I like better, I'll stick with this paper for
my own prints.
