[OT] Discontinued my favorite inkjet photo paper... need suggestion for replacement

Have been using Epson semigloss Colorlife photo paper along with Epson
1280 printer with great results. I am disappointed to learn Epson has
discontinued this paper.
Wondering if any of you have suggestion(s) for a replacement high
quality photo paper. Preferably a semigloss, pearl or luster paper to
work well with my dye ink set. Also would be nice to download icc
profiles for the paper that will work with my Epson 1280 printer
driver.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I tried the canon i9900 specific profile for this paper on the ilford
website and it gave the same light magenta cast I got using canon's
supplied profiles with canon paper. Might be my sample of this canon
printer just has this magenta shift? I returned the first printer I got
because it had a blue shift so may be the QC isn't as tight on the canon
printers. I ended up getting a custom profile from cathy's profiles which
solved the problem.
So to answer your question, yes there are profiles at ilfords site and you
should try them first. They might work fine for you. If not, a custom
profile at cathy's profiles -will- work if you like the paper..

Hey thanks Stacey. I'll look into this paper.
Did you get the profile through Ilford?

I've been using ilford classic pearl with my dye type canon i9900 printer
and really like it. The "classic" is for dye ink, not pigment type. I did
have to get a custom profile made but maybe the supplied epson profiles
will work OK for your printer? Mine didn't work well with the canon
supplied profile/paper either so maybe it's a canon issue..
