why print on matte paper?

2006-11-27 by David Keenan

After doing beaucoup test prints (neutral, cool, and warm) on various matte
papers with my R2400:

Velvet Fine Art
Moab Kayenta
Moab Entrada
Merlin Natural White

I returned to do the same test print on Innova F, a paper that I used for a
previous project.

Now I have to ask myself why did I waste so much time on those matte papers?
The Innova F test print is so much sharper, deeper, and richer.

My question for the group is:

Assuming that $$$ is not the reason, why would one ever choose to print on
matte paper?

Dave.
