Digital BW, The Print

Charley,

Have to add my agreement to Jerry's. It's matte and art papers or RC type
plastic papers that don't look so good generally. If you have to have silver
fiber, use your Epson color inks to make chromogenic contact negatives as
described by Dan Burkholder and make a silver print.

Pigment quad inkjet prints are a different animal from silver fiber. Ink on
top of paper will never look like silver embedded in a clear gelatin.

If you can live with an more RC look try some of the dye quads like
Spectratone on the glossy paper. This is very similar to a silver RC print.
