Ditto what Herb said. I've tried Kodak papers, called them to discuss issues and finally decided I'd stick with Epson papers for my Stylus Photo and 2000P. I get more than 50 4"X6" glossy prints from one color cartridge on my Stylus Photo. Haven't established a track record for the 2000P as far as ink cartridge usage goes yet.
