I will look into that. Not having the time to check out all the many papers available, I tend 
to stick with a slect few and mainly Epson. Enhanced matte is always pleasing, readily 
available, and creates few hassles. As i'm in Canada, it can be a problem (at times) getting 
delivery. Each winter, when I travel to Florida, I have a quantity of inks delivered from Atlex 
to my U.S. address. Their prices are better than what I can get here – even with pro 
discounts.
