Thanks firstly to customprintwales for the initial lead.

We have completed our testing of a matte photo paper as an alternative to TruPix and have decided as a company to move across to it for items we print on the flat press (basically everything but mugs).

This matt photo paper has made the artwork pop out that little bit more as well as being cheaper which certainly helps in this game.

This is the paper for those interested in trying it for themselves:

It is £9.70 (inc vat with free postage) for 60 A3 sheets so 16p a sheet.

Sudden thought, did you re-profile or did it just work without a new profile?
