Digital BW, The Print

Thanks again Paul. Then it will be the new Neutrals when they come 
out. As I wait,I'll go spending the OEM inks...
About papers,after using several brands,I decided to stay with EEM 
for matte.It's cheap,good,and behind glass I can´t tell it from 
Hanhemmule at many times the price. 
When it comes to semi-matte,now I have a problem. I used to enjoy 
Brightcube SM a lot,spayed with Krylon,,but now the only shop I know 
that sells the paper,InkjetGoodies,won´t ship abroad anymore. What 
paper would you recommend for the same look? (I understand that I'll 
have to use PhotoBlack with whatever it is apart from matte papers)
Best,
Andre
