what kind of prints are you making with that paper? photo or art/design prints?

UTOPIAN, does the epson premier art canvas paper have an actual canvas texture like you would find on a traditional painting canvas, as I would have to say I find that rather cheesy at times, because I wouldnt be printing reproductions of traditional mediums, but original digitals.

ItTango, I see they sell a GALLERIE Graphic version of the paper you use, have you ever used that for graphic art prints or purposes?
- Nope. Just the photo range stuff for my photographs. But Ilford is serious business so...ItTango

Mr. Joshua Davis also pointed me in the direction of Hahnemuehle paper. Looks like what I was asking about, when it comes time to give it a trial run, i'll post my reviews... if anyone cares.. ;)

it's hard to tell about the archival-worthiness of papers isn't it? i mean, the paper manufacturers & the printer manufacturers can claim 50 years, 100 years, 200 years, whatever, but it's not like they'll be proven right or wrong until everyone working at the company in question is long dead.
that being said - i've been using this recently:
