I'm trying to find in Europe at not too high price (cheap possibly) paper with:

- A3 or 13x19" double side
- higher than 250gsm
- glossy finish

or matte finish or even glossy / matte

do you have some suggestion? brands, online shops...

any kind of coating, not necessarily rc

Some chinese paper and various brands sold in uk that now will probably be more costly or difficult to get because of the the brexit.

I'm not going for big brand papers like Ilford or Hahnermule, they are too much costly. I would accept a lower quality in exchange of smaller prices.

Sometimes there are sales that occur in some countries but not others. Sometimes pricing is same across countries except for your taxes and and shipping. I have no idea the costs in the EU but other forum members watch pricing in their country and may be able to help. Sometimes sales are announced in the forum for all to enjoy.

It may be helpful to state your resident country.

I heard also about aldi paper and lidl one, are they so good as quality?
However I'm pretty sure they are not sold nor in A3 or 13x19 nor in double side.

These papers are only sold occasionally. They are manufactured by Sihl or Netbit. Only glossy single sided A4 and occasionally 4"x6" are offered.

The papers are very popular.

ok thanks they are not for me so. I'm looking for something more consistent in the time being order-able many times during the year without problems.

Any experience from ebay or other sellers?

Novalith paper seems to be nice but still too much costly in my opinion.

All the Glossy paper double side I found is luster that has a semi-gloss like finish, I would like a real glossy mirror like finish on both sides or at least one.

Where are you located ? Can you find Logic Seek papers on Amazon shippable to your country ? That's cast coated papers, non RC, budget level if that's what is o.k. for you

That glossy paper sold by Lidl may be very popular but be aware that is has an extremely low longevity with most third party dye inks. Colors fade as fast as ice in a sauna.
