Artists out there, what kind of paper do you print on for selling prints? Hello, i'm newish to Etsy, started about a month and half ago selling little things like stickers and keychains, hitting a 100 sales but I am now interested in selling prints of my artwork. I have been trying out cardstock for my prints (both Avery and Neenah from Amazon) but I haven't had any luck finding something great. Looking for recommendations for artists out there on what type of paper you print on from an inkjet. I feel like the cardstock I use isn't thick/heavy enough and doesn't have any texture (like watercolor paper), but I'm also worried about jamming the printer. Thanks so much!!!!! :D

While I haven't used them, my sister used to order her high quality papers from [Red River Papers](https://www.redrivercatalog.com/). You can get samples to see what is going to work best for you!
Hey guys. Anyone make prints with their own printer? I recently got a canon pro 100 and wanted to start printing my own.
However, all the canon paper I've been coming across has had watermarks on the back. It's been so frustrating because the amazon review half say they are blank and the other half says they have watermark. Do you guys find that people care? If you print, where do you get unwatermarked photo paper?! Thanks!

The semi gloss Canon paper has watermarks but the glossy, matte, and lustre ones don't. I personally get paper from www.redrivercatalog.com great selection and prices with no water marks

Also gonna second Red River Paper or Canon Matte paper. I love Matte prints. And no watermarks on the other side
I'm looking for a company that sells a variety of inkjet papers to print some of my photography. I'm looking for someone that offers fine art papers, greeting cards, canvas, etc. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Red River Paper http://www.redrivercatalog.com, Atlex http://www.atlex.com and Shades of Paper http://shadesofpaper.com. They all carry sample packs based on type, brand, etc.
Any recommendations for an ink jet printer? I have an Epson 730 and it is a giant piece of crap. I mostly print on cardstock and envelopes.
