Digital BW, The Print

Why don't you stick to Epson materials? What is the attraction in Ilford or Fuji? Is their 
paper any better for Ultrachromes? I get amazing results with the Epson materials and 
profiles. IF you are displaying prints you should print with a matt paper and cover it. I 
have several prints pinned to my wall that were printed some while ago on Epson 
Premium Gloss that do not show any sign of metamerism.
