Digital BW, The Print

Yes, I am foreseeing a lot of testing and fooling around. Especially since I am new to inkjet printing overall. Can you guys suggest some decent, and decently cheap, paper for proofs etc? I am drawn to thicker matte natural (as opposed to clinical white) papers, but as I am a complete beginner, I would welcome recommendations for all types of paper...

Hope and look forward to being able to pay your help forward some day soon.

Thanks!
