Very true. Epson matte or gloss paper was a pretty easy setup on my old wide format photo printer but when I went to fine art matte paper I could virtually empty my cartridges, on just a couple of 13"x19" prints. That stuff soaks up ink like nobody's business, if you want to get the same sort of vibrancy in prints.The metallic ones look great for things like planes or cars. The fine art papers are lovely. I got 25 sheets of 19x13 of ultra premium matte presentation paper which is just below the fine art stuff. The thing with this is that one photo can look remarkably different on different papers. It’s a whole new level of tasks to think about and it’s actually more enjoyable experimenting with things than I thought it would be.
The trick is getting the stuff on sale as it can be pricey.
Edit: Also to bear in mind, one high gloss paper from one company will give different results to another. There are printer profiles for each type and brand of paper and for a given printer and it’s important to use these. If they aren’t available for your printer then you’re taking an expensive gamble.

The Amazon stuff is probably returns.Amazon warehouse has some upper end photo paper listed as “used very good” which is a bit mystifying. I’m hoping it’s just a slightly damaged or aged box so I ordered some. The stuff is usually packaged really well. Next I have to find some inexpensive but good looking frames. I don’t really want plexiglass/plastic frames.
You can check staples for paper. It all comes from the same place so even the staples brand stuff will be good.Amazon warehouse has some upper end photo paper listed as “used very good” which is a bit mystifying.

I always had pretty good luck with both Staples matte and gloss photo papers.You can check staples for paper. It all comes from the same place so even the staples brand stuff will be good.
Frame pricing is all over the place, you have to do a bit of work.
But last time I was in a good will, one of those places you donate stuff, you can find lots of frames. That depends what you are looking for.
Depending on your preferred style, scrap hardwood furniture and a little time and glass can become frames pretty cheaply.Amazon warehouse has some upper end photo paper listed as “used very good” which is a bit mystifying.

You are in for quite the project.I want good mats too as I like the look of a good matted photo or picture. A lot simpler to just get a ready made (and correctly sized) frame. I want them all to look the same too.
