Digital BW, The Print

If you want a satin or fiber paper silver emulsion look, try Epson
Premium Semi Matte (see message 69902 for advanced black and white
setting suggestions). You print using the photo black ink on this
paper. This paper is sold in 17 x 22 sheets, which are too large for
your printer (I have a 4800), so cut it down and use the residual
strips for small test prints. Kirkland Premium Glossy (sold at Costco)
is a good proof paper substitute for EPSM. If you are looking for
black and white prints on cotton rag paper (matte black ink) look at
Clayton Jones' website for paper suggestions. There are a series of
excellent essays there, including one about workflow on the 2400
printer. Good luck.
