Good photo paper for traditional artwork prints?

Question

I'm an artist and I do oil paintings and mixed media artwork (pencil, ink, watercolor, acrylic etc.). I've been offering some of my work as limited edition fine art giclee prints but I want to also start offering some more reasonably open edition priced photo prints as well. What what be a good photo paper to do this with? I've been looking into HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, has anyone used this paper for printing traditional artwork rather than photography?

Answer 1

Rather than gloss, I would suggest using a matte finish photo paper, and, you should invest in better inks than the standard ones the are normally used in ink jets.  Check with a specialty camera store for water resistant, archival inks and papers.

Answer 2

i hate the gloss for mixed media prints. i used to experiment with an inkjet and regular printmaking quality paper. cheaper stuff, stonehenge... like that.

but if you want the glossy, photo paper, i used hp with a good printer and it was fine.
