I am also happy with Epson Premium Semigloss for R2400 printing as my glossy paper of 
choice. The current frustration is that in the 8.5 x 11 size, at least, it is distributed only in 
boxes of 20 sheets. (Unlike the ilford Smooth Pearl, which is distributed in boxes of 
different numbers of sheets, like the trusty Ilford paper we used in the darkroom.) Does 
anyone on this forum have insight into whether Epson is likely to change its paper 
packaging any time soon? The Luster seems at least to come in batches of 50, so that 
must mean it's more popular, but I'm not sure why.
