Printing photos? - imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 Media Recommendation

[Tintype_18]

Just watched a video on Fstoppers dot com on printing photos. It noticed he was using a medium that appeared much thicker than standard photo paper from the office supply store. I froze a scene and he was using a Canon Pro 1000 printer. Don't recall when the video was made but any input is most appreciated.

See pages 110 and 111 in the User Manual of the PRO-1000.   It mentions the supported paper and weights.  e.g. you can max it out with 107 lb (400 g/m^2) paper if using the manual feed tray.

Probably a Fine Art media. Not all printers can utilize the heavier media.

Your printer manual or technical specs will tell you what media types your printer can use.
