Digital BW, The Print

You might want to try the Innova Semi-Matte. I just did and I actually
prefer it to all of the others. It has an outstanding dynamic range
and sharpness and gamut and what I like about it is you can just lay
it on the table or in a portfolio. Unlike fully glossy papers it
doesn't show reflections and is very easy to look at in any light. 

I haven't used enough of it to know if there are any problems with
marks but I haven't seen any yet.
