Digital BW, The Print

If you like Hahnemuhle rag media and would like to find something close to 
that but with more durable surface, check out the

Photo Smooth Cotton - for a smooth texture but not quite as smooth as Epson 
Ultra-Smooth.

Soft Textured Art -  for someting similar to German Etching

I've been testing these for both color and monochrome and they are excellent 
in all respects in my opinion. They seem to work well with just about 
everything.

The Photo FibaPrint is less expensive and is a better replacement for 
Enhanced Matte.  I've only done things on it with the 8.5x11 samples but it 
seems very nice also. I sort of reminds me of the Legion Photo Matte.

The Cold Press Art I have not tried so I can't comment on. The first two I 
mentioned are excellent and  you should definitely try them.
