Digital BW, The Print

I have tried Canon matte (ugh) and photo paper pro. 
On both, I seem to get better results using either
"print from source" or adobeRBG printspace, rather
than the canon profiles.

Tyler, (or anyone else) can you tell me specifically
what papers you have used with the i9900 and what
settings????  I know, they may not work for me, but it
would be a start.

Thanks

Skip
