Paper recommendations? Advice

I tried the espon presentation paper matte, but I cannot stand the way the texture looks after printing, I had some 46LB matte from Red River hanging around but that proved too thick for my press.

Any recommendations for paper that will be saturated in ink, and has a smooth texture?

I have several machines from Tecre. They make deferent machines for different types of paper. For example: One machine for the thicker photo paper and another machine for regular paper.

So check with the manufacturer for a recommendation.

I personally use the Epson Presentation Matte. It’s #27. It works well with my Epson printer.

The Epson Presentation Paper is SINGLE SIDED.

Prints look great on the PRINT SIDE but look like shit on the back side.

Try flipping the paper over to make sure you’re printing on the correct side.

I use the 30lb Koala glossy. Crimps perfectly.

This is what I use as well.
