Digital BW, The Print

I think a good starting place would be a clear
definition of terms. Someone earlier in this thread
described Epson Premium Luster as a semi-matte paper
when to my eye it is a glossy paper (If I see my
reflection in the print it isn't matte!). Add constant
use of cryptic initials and the marketing speak that
the paper companies add and it is totally unclear what
anyone is taking about.
