Tyler, I second the motion regarding the beauty of K3 on Epson Premium Semi Matte. It is more of a satin finish than high gloss. I've been printing on it through ABW since buying my 4800 in July. I've had portfolio reviews from galleries and fine art printers who have had to ask me whether I was showing them darkroom or digital prints. I've sold a few prints in the past few months. In trying to match exhibition prints that earlier were on Agfa Classic fiber I generally come very close or, sometimes, exceed the darkroom print (probably more of a Photoshop advantage). The professional lab where I get my color printing (darkroom) done did a real double take when I showed them monochrome prints on this paper. Of course the tactile feel of the paper is different, but it is quite nice. In a mat or behind glass it looks very nice.This paper is not the end of history, I'm certain. But it is very nice. I'm waiting for a box of Silver Rag to see if I can get even closer to what I want. If you end up using EPSM, see my earlier post #69902 for suggested ABW settings. Cheers Richard
