Re: [Digital BW] Need RC paper suggestion

1) Given that the UT inks are pigment based, I question the desire for a 
swellable polymer paper, as I haven't seen data showing increased 
longevity for anything but dye-based inks on swellable polymer papers.

2)    EPSON does not recommend the ColorLife Paper as appropriate for 
the 2200 (the only swellable polymer paper AFAIK that EPSON sells)  But, 
it has added anti-oxidants and I personally hate the look and feel of 
that paper...

Given the basic chemistry and physics involved, I don't see how a 
swellable polymer paper would generally be compatible with pigment based 
inks, but perhaps I'm missing something..

I'd go with the Ilford Smooth Pearl or Smooth Glossy Galerie papers.. 
Just my 2 cents....
