ILFORD  Gold Fibre Silk Baryta Paper, seems to be the least expensive  
for  this class paper at $0.78 per letter size sheet (Atlex price).    
Any user reports for this paper?

The Ilford Gold Fibre Silk is a rally nice paper with a somewhat semi-matte  
finish. I say somewhat, because when I hold it next to a Silver Rag print of 
the  same color image, there is so little difference. Silver Rag has been my 
choice  for both B/W and color, but Ilford has hit a long ball with this one. 
The Harman FB A1 is a bit too slick for my taste, resembling an RC paper  
finish. The Harman Matt FB B/W sample (printed on a CanonI9950) is a very  nice 
finish paper that I have not printed on with my Epsons. Innova  Semi-Matte is 
about equal to the Ilford in finish, IMO no better, both  yielding a rich color 
print. I built profiles with Eye One Match and printed on  a 4800 PK.
