Digital BW, The Print

I'm impressed by Legion-Moab's THREE "air dried glossy" types:

#1 Colorado Fiber Satine, #2 Colorado Fiber Glossy, then #3
ultra-inexpensive DOUBLE SIDED (!) LaSal Photo Luster. 

All have a hint of fiber-like texture, look convincingly air-dried,
show no "glitter" or bogus pearl-like texture. 

There's also high gloss and all sorts of mattes including what appears
to be the old ultra-white double-sided Kayenta, now called LaSal Matte
in a new weight. (LaSal is the name of  some mountains in SE
Utah...camped there recently)

I prefer Colorado Fiber Satine with my 2200/OEM.

Colorado Fiber Glossy's slight extra gloss seems to reduce
differential...the gloss on white borders of both Colorado Fiber
Glossy and LaSal Photo Luster seems sensitive to something in my 2200
transport system, might not be for more modern printers (but for that
I'd be tempted by both). Both Colorado Satine and Gloss are very
faintly more appealing to me than Lasal Gloss, but they're all very
close. 

Legion has a deal on a comprehensive Moab sample pack.
