I would think the color would be different if you changed brands of paper. I have an Epson 1280 and am having fits trying to get Ilford Gallerie Classic Pearl to give me the right colors. I love the texture and appearance of that paper much more so than the Epson and Kodak papers I have been using, but can't seem to get the WYSIWYG on the colors.
