Tyler -

Sorry - you are right - it is my matte images that
suck - all of them.  They don't give me the feeling
that what I experienced when taking the picture, is in
any way transferred to the final print.  I simply like
a certain pizazz and impact that is lacking in any
matte prints I have seen so far, though I admit my
experience is limited.

So - please excuse my babbling generalization.  I am
new to this forum.

At risk of angering people, I'd say that when someone
says matte
prints suck, it really means their matte prints of
their images suck,
or they've never seen a good one.
I could state my opinion, that there are no "photo"
surface inkjet
papers that do not look artificial and cheap, and
therefore inkjet
photo surface prints suck. But they probably actually
don't, I just
lack user knowledge of them and an affinity for them,
and such a
statement really provides nothing useful to anyone
anywhere, does it?
