Bill, be careful with some non-Epson papers. The Epson black (on my Stylus Colour 800) tends to go bronze on Pelikan paper almost before it's dry, which is not a good look!
For trial purposes, I'd strongly recommend buying the least possible quantity of any other brand than Epson . And yes, if the paper is listed you will be able to use it. I believe the difference is that a pigment ink contains minute particles of the colour suspended in a carrier, and the colour is thus deposited on the printing surface when you print. Dye inks will presumably place something like a colour wash on the paper. I'm open to correction on this, obviously!
