Digital BW, The Print

Rick-

You can get sample packs of paper pretty cheaply. Cone has a lot of 
relabled Hahnemuhle papers (if you join NAPP for $99 a year, you get 
a 10% discount). 

If you are looking for economy, there is nothing cheaper/better in 
price range than Epson Enhanced Matte (formerly EAM)...but it does 
have an Epson logo on the back, which may not sit well on your 
professional jobs. In that case, try the Cone Matte or Legion Photo 
Matte.

We talked earlier about making glossy prints...the only way you will 
be making glossy with the MIS inks is to spray them after 
printing...again something you may not want to do in the volume you 
print.
