[Digital BW] Re: 2400 Vs. 2200 (4800 vs 4000, 7800 vs.......)

Yeah, I forgot to mention that, but from my stated impressions, one
can probably assume I use the coated papers, and they would be
correct. Specifically, luster and semigloss. I used matte and art
papers for a while, but went back to the coated for the more
photo-like appearence. Also, does anyone have any experience using
semimatte paper? what is the surface like? more matte or more luster?
