In case anyone was thinking of trying some of the Ilford "Inkjet Photo Paper" For use on thier Epson 750 printer, I'll save you the trouble, it's really not compatible. The paper is really nice, smooth, heavyweight glossy paper, better look and feel to it than the Epson Photo Paper, but unfortunately seems to be incompatible with the Epson ink. The result is an image that looks like it has little micro-cracks in it, like dried mud.

To it's defense, the paper is not advertised to work with this printer (it mentions compatiblity with lots of other Epson and HP printers, not the 750)

If you have another printer, I'd suggest looking into it, but not the 750.

I would be surprised to hear that it works with ANY Epson printer. I know it doesn't work with the 850 or the EX either. Works fine on my HP delivering just the sort of results I'd hoped for on the Epsons.
