Have been using Epson Photo Quality Inkjet paper(102g) for my covers,which looks pretty good when in the case.Have been paying around £10 for 100 sheets.
Went into my local ASDA yesterday,and chanced upon this...GP SPECTRUM Presentation Photo Matte Inkjet Paper(120g) for only £4.58(or £4.98 for 100 sheets,can't quite remember.)Anyway,it's more like thin card than paper,and the print quality is superb.Have printed a couple covers so far,and they look as good as with the Epson paper,and they come out the printer completely dry too!It is also printable on both sides,whereas the Epson paper only has 1 printable side.Guess which one i'll be using from now on.....
