I have been using 32# Red River Premium Matte for a book project. It 
is very economical and I also use it to make test prints that are 
close to EAM. It is very bright white compared to EAM. I don't think 
you will find a book weight paper that prints well on both sides at 
the same ink lay-down rate as a regular print. You will need to 
compromise. One method to get less ink is to use the o-head 
transparency setting. btw the MIS pig inks look much better on it 
than the Cone piezo inks.
