Cory:

I think that possibly the Epson inks do not fare well with the Lumijet Premium
Glossy.  It's not a paper problem...it's just that that combination don't work
particularly well together.

There are numerous alternatives if you don't like the Epson Photo Paper (which
prints very well).  Go to:  http://www.islandartcards.com/epson/Inks.html  for
listings of varous suppliers.  Oops, looks like I got the 'inks' page...you can
navigate from there to his paper pages though.  There also several other newer
companies that aren't included.

I haven't checked his site lately, but I don't think this vendor is on that
site.  If you like the heavier weight glossy, you might look at:
http://www.digitalartsupplies.com/ at their ICI Olmec Paper.  It is super heavy,
and you can buy a 5 sheet sample.  I haven't used it, but those who have give it
rave reviews...and it IS heavy.
