What sort of paper would you print hybrid stuff on?
 

Sorry for all the questions but being new to hybrid I want to find out before I send family out to buy this stuff for me

I have a Canon Pixma MP270 multifunction and part of me thinks I could get away with using one of these two to print my papers and elements out on

The first one is matte photo paper 170gsm
The second one is high resolution presentation paper 110gsm

doubel sided matte photo paper. Plain matte photo paper if you can't find the double sided

do you think the brand matters too much as I do use genuine canon ink as well?

I use 160 gsm bright white presentation paper, it's very matte and comes from Staples here in the UK. I bet they have a similar product in the UK. When I make hybrid projects I want them to look just like if I had used real scrapbook paper so I use this instead of photograph paper

Thats what I would like to achieve but I really only have one place I can go for paper so I think I might just have to stick to matte photo paper this time around

after ringing my local stationary store they have run out of those two different papers so I may have to look at plan b which at this stage is I have no idea!!

Well, this is just my personal experience... but I had a Canon Pixma printer and bought "store brand" and Kodak papers because they were much cheaper than the Canon papers. Unfortunately, they printed terribly! The only time i got decent prints was when I used genuine Canon papers. Which was crummy, because they are pricey! Although, now I have an Epson, and I can use all my Canon papers with it, and it prints wonderfully! Yay!

well after about 5 phonecalls to the local stationery chain I finally found some canon matte paper that costs $20 less than epson
