I enjoy the choice of papers: Hahnem?hle, Somerset, Permajet (very nice papers), and the plain old reliable budget Epson Enhanced Matte (cheap). I don't do much color though. I've got a cheap epson with 4 oz bottles of carbon inks (not piezo) from MIS Associates. It's great to churn out as many prints as I want without thinking about costs. Four bottles cost me 66 USD. The only expense is the paper and using Epson Enhanced Matte doesn't really feel like a cheap way out. It's very good.
