Digital BW, The Print

I think you have to have a more elemental reaction to materials than that. It's a bit like 
"rules" such as - cool prints for snow scenes, warm prints for portraits.
You'll not find our most admired artists thinking like that.

Just look at the paper, do you like it? Do your images seem more alive on it than another?
We often look for quick solutions for choices, forgetting our instincts for pure visual 
motivation.
But that's why we atarted doing photography in the first place.

One common misconception, texture won't support photographic detail. Not true, the 
coatings hold the dot quite well even on strong textures. Strong light may cause the 
surface texture to compete with image texture, but that's a different deal, and still not 
necessarily bad.

Get some sample packs and decide for yourself, based on your simple direct visual 
reaction- that's my potentially useless advice.
