Digital BW, The Print

Ken, try a sheet or two of Arches Bright White paper. It's uncoated, but
gives a decent black. It doesn't handle really smooth tones too great,
as they can look grainy. On the other hand, if that doesn't concern you,
you may be happy with it. It's archival, acid free, has deckles, etc.
