Photo paper in the UK

Aimed at UK posters only.

I have only just started to print off photos from my Epson 880 on some samples I
had from somewhere or other and might try a bit more.

Question - I am not trying to be too serious about the results as the photos
will only be album viewing, so:

* What paper weight should I be looking at - 120g or more?
* What is the best value paper - can I get away with WH Smiths own brand?
* Anything in particular I should be looking for?

Any answers would be appreciated as my current knowledge is VERY low!

Best value for money (good paper Good Price ), is ICI Olmec.also marketed as
Jessops brand. Starts at 170 g
 
Try Ilford Classic Glossy or Pearl. These work very well on my Canon
2820, which is supposed to be roughly compatible with the Epson. You
can get the Ilford cheaply from www.7dayshop.com.
