good paper for UT2 and epson 1280

2005-01-04 by Marcus

Im searching for some different paper to use with the UT2 inks.  Im loving the inks and 
wish I could get something that has a little sheen to it.  Right now I am using Moab 
entrada natural and I am loving it.  I also use Somerset Velvet Radiant white (the uncoated 
one).  I am enjoying both papers and highly reccomend them to anyone that likes a matte 
paper.  Expecially the moab paper.  When I printed in the darkroom, I used ilford 
multigrade fibre base with a pearl finish.  Is there anything out there that is similiar to 
this?  It must be archival or I will not use it.  Print longevity is very important to me.  I was 
wondering about the epson premium luster papers.  If anyone could give me some 
suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.  The information on this forum is great and it is 
what caused me to take the plunge and purchase a CIS system.  

Paul if your reading this, do you happen to have a curve for the moab papers for the UT2 
inks?  or what about the somerset velvet paper(the uncoated one)?  Right now I am using 
the photorag curves and they seem to be working pretty good.  I have learned a lot from 
you and appreciate the time you have put into making the curves and giving printing 
suggestions.  

Thanks in advance,
Marcus Carrillo
