Hello
I tried pictorico film and the gallery glossy, a couple of the ilford
glossy and semi papers, as well as the run of epson stuff.
Finally Ive happily settled on Epson Professional Glossy (aka Glossy 
Paper Photo Weight)
The paper exhibits the least collective problems of the glossy types.
There is still some bronzing, but surprisingly less than I expected.
Ive sold a couple of 12 x 18 prints on it that look fantastic.
Very good color saturation. It appears to have a slightly warmer tone 
to it that the other epson glossy/semi papers.
My only beef is the slight though evident buckling under heavy black 
areas.
Mounting would take care of it, but Id obviously prefer it not present
Oh, there is also a very slight texture to the surface. It is barely 
noticable, but maybe adds a bit depth to the appearance of the photo.
I downloaded a profile from Epsons UK site. Its for the 2100, but...
I print NCA using Epson Premium Semigloss as the "media type" and 
soft proof using the 2100 pro glossy profile.
