photo papers and setting for Epson printer 870

[stevenboy]

I just bought a Epson photo printer 87o, I would like to know what photo papers and setting would produce the best print for black and white picture. Thanks for your help.

i've tested diff kinds of photo paper in epson printers and not surprisingly epson photo paper works the best on epson printers.

not sure about b&w pics but most of my pics are done on either heavy matte paper or glossy photo paper both by Epson! very good results with either.
you'll need to print 720 or 1440dpi for best quality.

Yep, Epson Glossy Photo Paper is the whip, esp. at 1440 DPI

As for general use paper, I have found Hammermill's JetPrint to be the best. Not quite as bright white as some papers, has excellent surface finish (print side is denoted on pkg.), and for regular paper, it even does an OK job with photos.

There is a thread in the hot deals forum about the Office Depot photo paper that is on sale now for $25 for 100 sheets. Some people really like it for most photo inkjet printers.
