I use both Premium Luster and Premium Semigloss. There's very little
difference. I actually prefer the semigloss, because it seems to print
with just a wee bit more apparent sharpness and contrast. But it's hard
to tell the difference. Both are great papers.

Hi all,
My current roll of printer paper is almost finished and I'm
considering different options for restocking. The roll I'm using at
the moment is Premium Glossy which I was lucky to find in an
Australian-owned retail chain. They don't seem to stock it anymore so
it looks like the only stuff I can get in this size is Premium
Semigloss.
There are a couple of interesting-looking papers which aren't
available here so I'm thinking of ordering from B+H while the exchange
rate is good. The first is Premium Luster which photographers seem to
be raving about. The other is the PremierArt Water Resistant Canvas
as I'm interested in trying out canvas printing. Despite being canvas
it's actually listed as having a glossy surface which presumably means
I won't need to use the Matte Black ink.
I'd appreciate it if anyone has used either of these papers and could
offer comments.
On another note I'd love it if I could convince my printer that it's
really a 2200. This means I could load the US driver which has
support for the whole range of papers. I really hate it when
manufacturers arbitrarily restrict certain markets.
Cheers,
