Digital BW, The Print

Jim, I got 25 sheets of Royal Rennaissance paper from Media street, which they say is Photo Rag 308.  It prints beautifully, but is awfully
thin.  Thinner than the Epson Archival matte. Do you find this to be so also?
The ENHANCED somerset velvet is ok for the images you describe. but not the regular.  However, for high key only photos like a real light
waterfall, or cloudscape, it does ok, so long as there are no deep blacks.
