Thanks Luis and Scott, I feel more confident knowing other peoples
experiences!  

I guess I am still searching for my special paper.

Epson VFA is a nice paper, and has excellent color gamut and Dmax, 
better than most I have tried.  You have to like the surface texture, 
and there are many attractive paper choices out there.  VFA needs to 
be handled carefully before and after printing to prevent scuffing, 
etc.  Best mounted behind glass.

I'd definitely use the Matte Black ink.  Photo black will be weak in 
comparison, just like on most matte fine art papers.
