Digital BW, The Print

Try M-207 from Paper Connection Int'l (www.paperconnection.com).  they are
a direct importer from Japan. I did some tests on our 1270 (epson oem ink)
and 860 (piezoBW) with the Tokoniko profile (or something like that).  I
was fairly impressed.  
No, this is not a crane paper, and i have no financial interest in the
paper, but it's VERY inexpensive and i thought it printed well.  
Oh, one thing, vegetarians beware because it is sized with rabbit glue...
