  NOTE: The Ceramic Luster, Premium Semi-gloss and Premium Luster papers are "micro or nano porous" papers. They are "RC" papers that have moisture barrier (usually made of polyethylene) to prevent "cockling" or waviness when you lay down heavy ink loads. The micro-porous ingredient (glass or silica) provides little ink well receptors for instant drying and better image uniformity. Micro-porous papers also act like an atmospheric "sponge" causing inks to fade quicker (especially the cyan dye inks) if the print is not protected from rapid air exchange by either glass, protective sleeves or lamination. With the UltraChrome pigmented inks, your prints on these papers should last over 40 years, according to Epson and Wilhelm Imaging Research before noticeable fading occurs (indoor lighting - 450 Lux, 12 hours per day - protected by glass). Dye inks (i.e. in the Epson 1280 printers) will only last 5 to 9 years on these papers.
  
  
• PICTORICO Professional Photo Gallery Hi-Gloss White Film
  The original "Cibachrome" (now called Ilfochrome) uses a polyester film base (not paper). Pictorico has a similar product (PGHG White Film) made for inkjet, using a micro-porous coating, but it does not have quite the mirror-gloss of the Cibachrome. The UltraChrome pigmented inks print extremely well on this product, and Pictorico considers it a very archival combination when using pigment inks. PGHG White Film is available in sheets, up to 13 x 19

• EPSON VELVET FINE ART PAPER
  This paper is brand new from Epson, and may be a little hard to obtain for a while. Until then, you can obtain virtually the same product as "Somerset Photo Enhanced Velvet" (see below).
  
  
• EPSON WATERCOLOR PAPER - RADIANT WHITE
  One of the best printing fine art papers around is Epson's own, and it's also one of the least expensive (compared to other "fine art inkjet papers). The reason it's so inexpensive is because it's a wood pulp paper, and not a cotton rag paper like some of the other fine art papers. This means that the paper is not considered "archival". Despite this, your UltraChrome ink images should still have good indoor fade resistance on this paper.

This is the whitest of all the fine art papers inkjet papers. Somerset has been around a LONG time. Somerset Velvet Radiant White (the original, uncoated version) is and was the #1 paper used for about a decade in the Iris giclee industry. Somerset Photo Enhanced Textured is the coated version of that paper. Somerset Photo Enhanced Velvet and Epson Somerset Velvet are the slightly smoother, coated versions (but still have MUCH more texture and character than Hahnemuhle. Photo Rag).
