Photo paper at A3 and above is where printer brand starts to matter: Epson and Canon coat their large-format sheets to match their own inks, and mixing brands is the usual cause of flat colour on an otherwise good print.

Match the paper brand to the printer first, finish (glossy or matte) second, weight last. See A4 photo paper, all photo paper and printing supplies.
