Digital BW, The Print

Couple suggestions from a non-expert:

1. If you can, try them all.  

2.  I have been printing just recently on Ilford Smooth Pearl (like 
Epson Luster - maybe between luster and semi-gloss).  I print with 
Permajet Oyster cool at 75% and warm at 25%.  Gives me a pretty 
neutral print.  The curves for premium semi-gloss give me brown 
prints on semi-gloss, gloss, luster, etc.  Oyster does the trick 
somehow.
