Digital BW, The Print

I can't believe nobody's responding to this entry. Finding the right 
paper for various applications is so important! I've just received a 
packet of 11x17 Innova FibaPrint Semi-matte, but I've not tried it yet. 
The surface looks nice - a smooth soft sheen, not a shine, and not a 
texture. I'll be using it in an R2400, so it will be a few days before 
I bother switching out the blacks from matt to photo. I'm hoping this 
will be my premium B&W paper. But yeah, the price is high. I'm hoping 
it's got the look and feel of the old Oriental air-dried silver gelatin 
prints I used to make. 

My everyday paper is Inkpress Matt Plus 80. Acid-free, lignin-free, but 
fairly bright, so I assume the OBAs may yellow over time, but I'm not 
going to worry about it too much. 

The nicest surface appearance in non-glossy papers I've used are the 
semi-glossy papers by Mitsubishi and others, but the paper has a 
squeaky feel that is very unpleasant, plus it's a little too thin. But 
I have to admit I used those on dye printers, not pigment printers.
