Cheap non-RC paper for PK ink question

2007-11-18 by Scott Jones

Greetings,

For making cd case inserts and greeting cards I have been using Epson 
Enhanced mat with R2400 PK ink. Blacks look like mud of course. I do 
NOT want to change over to mat black ink. I do all of my fine art 
printing with PK.

My question is, what would be an inexpensive paper that would react 
well to the PK ink with good tones and still be a non RC paper so I can 
fold it into cards etc. Ultimate quality is not crucial for me, but I 
would like the image to look crisp and with decent dmax. I would like 
to avoid the high price of the Harmon like papers which I will reserve 
for my fine art work.

Thanks for helping with any advice.
