Epson Store does not carry paper for my Epson printer: Responding to an Epson sale, the printer, paper size and type were selected from their dropdown lists and no matter what paper...

sodapop Loc: Bel Air, MD

Responding to an Epson sale, the printer, paper size and type were selected from their dropdown lists and no matter what paper types I select a message appears in red that says no paper with the selection you made is available. I have an Epson xp 620.
Any recommendations for the best place to get paper for an Epson printer, maybe should check Kodak or HP.
Kinda weird that Epson advertises a sale and has no recommendation for one of their printers

I usually get free overnight delivery from Staples.

Thanks for the reply, I have a Staples less than 5 miles from my home. I would have thought that Epson running a big one day sale would offer paper for all of the printers they list but Staples seems like a great alternative.

Staples may be a better retailer, but on the link I posted, you can buy directly from Epson, and you need not enter your printer model.

The best source for printer supplies I have found is Atlex.com. Great prices and service.

I just looked myself. That does seem odd but not the first time I've seen a situation like that.

I really would not worry about what it actually says if the type of paper is available per their sale for a different model of printer. Your manual will list the types usable, which is likely any and all. They have those menus as a convenience mainly for inks and other components that differ widely by model.

I've never found it matters what type of paper or brand I use. For plain 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 paper it does not matter at all, though I say away from 20#, opting for 22# or 24# paper. For glossy "photo" papers I've used many brands with many different InkJet / BubbleJet printers over the years, HP, Kodak, Canon, Staples(paper), Epson(paper), etc. and see no issues. It might make a difference with high end photo printers that uses special inks (like 7 to 9 to more, especially if they have gray inks). With office printers they all seem to be similar. So buy what is on sale.

I have used Red River Paper for all my paper supplies for the past few years.

They have a great selection of paper and also have a large library of printer ICC profiles by paper type.

Ironically, the Epson store is not run by Epson. I found this out by asking customer service why their ink prices were so much higher than retail stores like Staples.

I use an Epson XP-620 printer and have always bought my paper from Epson with no difficulty. I use mostly the ultra premium photo paper luster (SO41405, 8.5" x 11")and buy when on sale. Usually arrives the second day.

I'm sure there are a lot of papers that will work well, it just seemed strange that when I selected my Epson model on the Epson Store drop down menu it stated in red letters that there was no recommendation for that model. I usually buy my paper at Staples, it works well, an will use Staples as a source.
Thanks again for the follow ups

Crazy that you couldn't come up with any results. I just filled in the model and paper finish, no specific size.
