What about a semi-gloss surface, like we used to get drying F (glossy) paper on a fibreglass screen, and flattening the dried and wavy result in a drymount press? I found that rather pleasing. These prints had the blacks we enjoyed in a glossy print but with fewer annoying highlights.
More and more I dislike displaying mat surface prints under glass.
