All my prints have been on Epson Archival Matte; and the only other paper that I have tried is Somerset Velvet Enhanced, which I did not like because it made the already warm tones of Piezo inks even warmer and had a surface texture that I would not like for most prints. Which cotton rag paper do you recommend and how is its tone neautarlity compared to EAM?
