Digital BW, The Print

You should love the Eclipse Satine paper, much cheaper than somerset. It
comes in 190 GSM and 300 GSM Weights. I think the 190 is thick enough
for most uses, but the heavier is great if your printer will take heavy papers.
 (If you just use the uncoated somerset, you will get very weak blacks.)
 Also try Legion's Photo Matte Paper, (230 GSMS,) and the Epson
Watercolor paper. Photo Matte is the brightest white paper I've yet
seen, and eclipse is nearly as white.
