I usually just go matte for everything. Very rare to print on glossy paper just because sometimes if there is a lot of light around, people will have to keep twitching the photo to get rid of the reflection of the light..

Brandon, great video. I’m glad you clarified that it was metallic paper, not metal-good comparison and contrast with the different papers. I’ve been doing fine art printing on canvas and aircraft-grade aluminum for years. They usually sell pretty well, but it is very dependent on what image gets printed on what medium. Thanks again for sharing. Stay safe.

I have always had good results from Luster or Pearl finishes. I began experimenting with multiple papers from different manufacturers and found some interesting results. After printing like a madman this is what I selected. For Luster/Pearl my favorite is Cansen Baryta Photographique 2. For Lusters the Epson and Moab Lasal Exhibition Luster 300 are very nice. For Gloss the Red River UltraPro Gloss 2 68lb. Everyone's personal tastes will vary. I am a wildlife and nature photographer which heavily influences my paper choices. Printing has improved my photography. With things the way they are there's plenty of time to print like a crazy person! What a great time to have a great printer!!

I love images of vehicles, machinery or even people with their car, motorcycle, airplane on metallic & semi metallic paper. The chrome, candy apple paint etc really pops on metallic paper. Certain Astrophotography looks great on metallic papers too, especially nebula or Milky Way with color in it. IMHO. Otherwise satin is my choice for portraits and matte for watercolor type images.

I personally use Canon Pro Luster paper. Satin finish, 260 gsm. I get beautiful results on it with my Canon PIXMA iX6820 printer. That's a pretty inexpensive but very decent 5-cartridge inkjet photo printer for under $200. My camera club members ask where I get my prints done. When I tell them I printed those photos at home, their eyes bug out. I want to upgrade to a PIXMA Pro-200. That's all the printer I'll ever need. Maybe soon you can do a video about affordable home photo printers, since I'm pretty sure that large format printers are not in most of your viewers' wheelhouses. EDIT - I guess a lot of folks jumped on that sample pack! I just ordered the last one, if Amazon's supply status is accurate. Hopefully they'll restock soon!

Brendan, the one important thing you did not mention is the permanence/ archival properties of papers. Many papers out there contain optical brightners and things that actually cause the prints to yellow over time. They are not all equel and sometimes you have to do a little research to find permanance values because they tend to hide or stretch the truth about longevity. Many of the online print labs use cheaper quality papers. If you want to set yourself apart from the mass of other photographers use the more archival cotton rags and such because it is a built in selling point. PS. Your wearing cotton gloves but trashing and tearing those prints. At least they won’t have fingerprints when you throw them in the trash.

@@BrendanvanSon For landscape photography, the Epson Premium Glossy. The colors are natural, yet very punchy and with a high dynamic range.

I haven't had much experience with black and white yet, but the Archival matte made a very high-quality impression.

Interesting, but I had to Google “GSM” as I had no idea. GSM (grams per square meter) is the measure of paper in the rest of the world, other than here in the US where we’ve resisted the metric system for years. Back in high school we were told we’d be changing to the metric system in a few years, glad I didn’t hold my breath as that was nearly 50 years ago.

Quick question about the SIZE of the paper, for your print job. Small 8"x11" vs 30"x50" is your paper thickness (weight) going to matter along with the paper type? In my mind the larger the print, then perhaps the paper's weight should scale up as well? I have never printed anything. But I do have some images that I'd think would be great once printed and am sitting on the cusp of having them done at a shop. Mostly because I'm very aware owning a printer will mean having to use it on the regular or I'll otherwise be in a printing money hole.
