ok here is the dilema...

ive been using a old model HP 6mp laser jet to print my positives but ive had a Epson Stylus CX6600 printer that i bought but never really used and discovered it printed really nice prints in my oppion...my question is what kind of paper would you guys recommend i use for positives and also im running out of ink in the epson what kind would i need to buy...

thanks in advance

The CX6600 uses DURABrite pigment inks so you want to buy Pigment Inkjet Film or what the industry commonly (incorrectly) calls Water Proof Film.

All EPSON inks are water based, so if the film is water proof, how does the ink go into the porus coating on the polyester film?

Your local screen supply distributor has inkjet film.

I do not recomend paper.

No. SC4 is for dye ink. You have a pigment printer.

On the Pocono site, Brian does mention the Kimoto UC5 film, which is a nano-porous coating which will work for dye OR pigment ink.
