Digital BW, The Print

I know most of the discussion here is about printing BW photography, but I 
also know that Paul Roark and perhaps others sometimes are making new prints 
from restored antique photos.

My primary interest in BW printing is creating new prints from antique 
photos. I'm using a 1280 with the UT2 inks on PhotoRag at present. I have no 
problems with this combination. I have no problems with clogs, even though 
the printer stays on for weeks at a time and often sits without being used 
for a few days at a time. Nor do I have any problems with the PhotoRag 
flaking. I'm careful to wipe each sheet before use and maybe that's the key. 
The color of the PhotoRag paper is perfect for printing antique photos.

I plan to continue using the 1280 and UT2 as long as the printer is 
producing nice prints. However, I'm wondering about the new matte papers 
that are being discussed here. Are any of you who do antique photo 
restoration using the new papers for this purpose? Which ones (preferably 
usable with 1280 / UT2 curves), if any, should I consider as possible 
suitable replacements for PhotoRag?

TIA for any suggestions.
