I find both 7 day Shop and Premier Inks to be reliable and inexpensive suppliers of inkjet paper.

Your "A3" printer will almost certainly take A3+ paper.

It would be crazy to spend a lot of money on a printer and even more on ink cartridges to get mediocre results from cheapo paper. I find Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl, Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk and Fotospeed Platinum Baryta meet most of my needs. With those papers and manufacturers' inks, you should average about £5 per A3+ print.

Another satisfied user of Calumet "Brilliant". Glossy and Lustre A3/A3+ give great results out of my Pixma 9500 Mk ll Pro.

i am a lover of ilford galerie gloss and smooth pearl, recently i borrowed some Permajet gloss which is very similar and also works well with the custom profiles i had for ilford. several of my friends use permajet oyster but its not to my taste and isnt to me as good as ilford smooth pearl.

i have also tried photospeed gloss and it looks to have great potential.

at the end of the day you have to try them and make your own judgement. but i doubt there are any good cheap papers oout there. stick with the well known names.

What make is the printer? Is it Dye ink or Pigment ink?

Answer these questions and you'll get more meaningful answers since certain papers are more suited to either dye or pigment e.g. the Ilford papers:

Classic Gloss and Classic Pearl are more suited to Dye-based inks

Smooth Gloss and Smooth Pearl are more suited to Pigment-based inks

So................

Ask a proper question with the relevant information included

and................

you'll get proper replies based on the information given

in other words...................

ignore the 'guesses' above and start again
