Digital BW, The Print

I think Epson Scrapbook Matte is the same as PremierArt Hot Press. 
Not quite as bright as the other two papers you mention, but its
longevity should well exceed EMM and it also might retain its original
look a little better than PhotoRag--depending on whether or not OBAs
really turn yellow or not, which, after reading about, I certainly
don't know for sure.

I like PHP, but it took some tweaking to get it to match (close enough
for my purposes) EEM proofs.
