RE: [Digital BW] good paper for UT2 and epson 1280

Marcus,

I don't have a Moab curve for UT2.  I have not used the inkset in a while,
but just loaded some this evening.  So, maybe I'll get to it.

For a paper with more "sheen," the Premium Semigloss might do it.  Many like
Luster, but I prefer the Semigloss and Semimatte, which for some reason is
only available in rolls.

Subject: [Digital BW] good paper for UT2 and epson 1280



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
