I’m much less up on the great papers than you guys.
I just switched from the Epson enhanced matt to the Velvet.
Using Epson “brand” papers sounds and is kind of boring but for some reason
I like to go into Pro Photo and know that my paper is going to be there.
I wonder if someone else really makes it for them. Someone with a more
impressive name than “Epson” paper wise.

The fact that my paper now is 100% rag just like the mat board I’d always
used blows me away.

The papers available for inkjet is amazing far surpassing anything we ever
knew  in the darkroom. The variety and quality.

But it’s definitely a matt ballgame.

In the darkroom I’ve stuck to Ilford. Avoided the temptation to stray.
When you flip thought my stack of prints they’re all the same size.
Bugs the hell out of me when they're slightly not.
Makes it hard to shuffle and deal.
