Digital BW, The Print

This would definitely be helpful to me.  I am thinking seriously about a quadtone for one and a pigmented set for the other.  I have tried a lot of paper and have found a number I like (altho' I have limited myself to just a few), but longevity is another issue.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Ink/paper survey


  Hi folks,

  I would like to solicit your help in compiling a non-scientific survey of 
  what ink/paper combinations people have had success with.  Your help by 
  answering the questions at bottom is greatly appreciated.

  The goal is to collect statistics on successful combinations of ink/paper 
  to help people narrow their testing to a smaller subset of ink/paper 
  combinations  There is no commercial intent in compiling these numbers.  
  Your e-mails will not be distributed in any way.  Results will be posted 
  here in about two weeks.  Please respond to me at  Estrt@....  This 
  is an address that will only be in use for this poll for about a week.
  This survey is being posted at "Epson-Inkjet" and 
  "DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint" mailing lists.

  Please answer the questions as they apply to photographic output.  

  Please answer each question for both B&W and Color output if the answers 
  would be different.

  Here is a sample question:

  (SAMPLE ONLY- DO NOT RESPOND) What is the printer/ink/paper combination 
  that you use for most of your photographic output?

  Epson 1280/ Niagara Continuous Flow Ink System with Enhanced Generations 
  G4 ink/ Somerset Photo Enhanced Paper, for both B&W and color


  Do you use any type of protective spray?  No
  Who constructed your profiles? Self-generated using Monaco EZColor
