Everyone seems to have their favorites, if you do a search on the forum you will find dozens. I have found that you will just have to try a few sheets of several until you stumble on one that you are pleased with.
For lights: Jet Pro SofStretch
For darks: IronAll for Darks
Both stretch and have a soft hand (the opaque paper for darks of course has a heavier hand). The Jet Pro SofStretch is truly incredible paper that keeps the photo resolution, color vibrancy and DOESN'T CRACK OR FADE even after being abused (washed right-side-out, in HOT water with BLEACH and then dried in a HOT dryer for 60 minutes). Most recently, some members are actually using dye ink with this paper, and haven't had any fading issues to date...
You can find Jetpro Sofstretch at a very good price with low shipping at tshirtsupplies.com. There are other suppliers, more all the time, but the price at this vendor is very, very good.
