Paul Roark-MIS UT inks on 1160 - which archival paper?

2004-10-13 by stefan_asmith

Hello,

I'm new into B&W printing.

After much scanning the archives of this group and the Internet, I 
bought a new Epson 1160 printer and have ordered the MIS CFS UT 
inkset with Eboni.

For the bulk of my printing needs, I will use Epson Enhanced/Archival 
matte paper, for which Paul Roark provides the curves.

However I would like to do some prints to sell, and need advice on 
which paper to go for. In addition, the only other curves provided 
for the 1160/UT inks are the Epson Ultrasmooth paper, to which I have 
no access.
So ideally the paper I choose should be compatible with the curves 
available.

As for the paper, I have been looking at:

Somerset Enhanced Satin 225gsm
Hannemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm
Permajet Delta Matt Fibre 271gsm
Permajet Omega 310 gsm
Permajet Museum classic 310gsm

Which one would work best with the curves Paul/MIS provides?
In terms of type of paper, I prefer as bright white, neutral tone and 
smooth as possible.

Sorry if this a silly question or has already been answered,

thx,
stefan
