Digital BW, The Print

Hey folks, im a new member. thank you very much.

I have been using Epson Professional Glossy paper for black 
and white work via Image Print on a Epson 2200 and I find that it, 
so far, is the closest thing I 've found to the look of a traditional, 
air dried black and white print. It has a smooth, low sheen that 
looks pretty near a traditional air dried....not to bad in the 
bronzing dept.either.

Plus, it benefits from the better black in photo black ink. Ok, it's 
pretty cool, Im in the mood to experiment a bit so...

are their any other papers out there that are similar in having that 
air dried print feel?

And, in terms of these RC ish papers (glossy inkjet papers) what 
is the life expectancy under glass or out of the air in an acid free 
box? Anyone have any source for good info on this? I can' t seem  
to find it on the Wilhelm site...maybe someone has a link??

All the other low gloss or semi gloss papers ive seen have a bit 
of a stipple

Thanks



P.S. This paper is not to be confused with some other papers of 
similar name....it is more difficult to find.
