I use an Epson 1400 (one of the best and most reliable....and won't break the bank. I use the prof grade Studio Gloss(actually a textured semi gloss) from Kodak....15 weight....nice thickness....Epson makes a nice prof semi gloss too....my printer actually seems to know how to make it better than what is on the screen....I also use Huey Pro software to keep my colors true....and two monitors....one is greater at color matching....my larger one great for editing the details.....hint....when viewing an image on a screen...by the nature of the emitting light...images will appear lighter and brighter than they do coming off of a printer....so I usually give a slight bit more contrast and lightness to the image before I print...and that takes care of most differences.
