Choice of paper

2004-08-20 by yaakovsinclair

Choice of paper here in Israel is a bit limited for the 2100.  I've 
been using the Ilford Smooth Fine Art which is quite nice, but a bit 
too textured for smaller prints.  As someone is coming out from 
England to visit, I could ask a favor and have some 'imported'.
Which paper(s) should I try?
I really liked the Epson Archival Matte Paper which came with the 
machine (5 sheets!) but obtaining supplies here is a problem.  Also 
it's a bit lightweight.  The finish and the way it takes the ink seem 
really nice with the OEM inks and the BlackOnly Epson ink.
Also, what's a good substitute for Ilford Multigrade Glossy (unglazed)
paper if I have to mix inkjet and silver in one portfolio, (or is 
that asking for too much?)
Again - many thanks for all the wonderful help on this BB.
