THanks for the response Jim,

"There is a paper that will work in the short term but with a catch. 
HP
Universal Gloss/SemiGloss. The catch is since this an instant dry 
paper
and your 130 is a dye printer, the life expectancy of your prints will
be short. A few years at most. But if the poster is exposed to 
sunlight
than maybe a few months unless you spray the prints with something 
like
PrintShield. The Premium Plus paper will handle this abuse with ease."

I understand! I have read some of the forums where artist's have had 
their customers bring back product because your scenario above with 
hanging a print in a room w/lots of sun and unprotected otherwise. 

My math: $63 for 24"X100' universal photo yields 33 cut 2'X3' sheets 
(I will be cutting sheets from rolls, not an NR model I 
purchased),roughly $2 A SHEET, vs. $75 for 24"X50' of Premium Plus 
Photo Satin yields say, 16 cut 2'X3' sheets@ $4.69 A SHEET. 
Yes, that difference will EASILY pass on to the customer for, by 
comparison, A HUGELY MORE QUALITY PRINT PRODUCTin every aspect 
compared to the Universal Photo paper. Very good!

But dealing w/ dye ink, is it still a good idea to either 
A)make sure the poster frame plexiglass IS U/V coated, or
B)laminate or spray the print for the potential of sunlit rooms 
housing my prints, or
C)do not worry, because I am representing my prints as INDOOR only 
anyhow and some sunlight will be OK if it shines on my prints for the 
relatively short few hours a day that it will...using the Premium 
Plus Photo paper of course...

THanks again Jim,
John Anderson
