720 d.p.i., or coated paper for high resolution printing

Here's how the front of a package reads:

Epson High Quality Ink Jet Paper
Ideal for Everyday High Resolution Color Printing
- High resolution coated paper
- for deep sharp colors and text
- great for reports, graphs, handouts and more
- use with Epson 720 d.p.i. print mode (also referred to as the "fine" setting on the Epson printers)
For use with Ink jet printers

The paper I've described above---photo quality ink jet paper, or coated paper---is for use with the 720 dpi setting on your printer.

Beware "Double sided" coating. You may not want that for your book.

Just be sure to distinguish between photo paper and photo quality inkjet paper (coated paper.) Photo paper has that thickness of a photograph whereas coated paper is just a standard thickness paper that is a brighter white on one side than the other and prints continuous tone imagery on that brighter side extraordinarily well. For the book you'll probably just want the coated paper.

Go to CompUSA. I know it is there, but Best Buy and Office Supply stores carry it too.

Note: Due to a history of problems with store clerks who can't find this paper...

Find the inkjet paper section and do the best you can. Most clerks can not help you although they will pretend they can--and fail to deliver the product that I've bought from them hundreds of times. If you show them this sheet (fold this part under) and they can't point you to it, and/or try to tell you it doesn't exist, take their name.
