Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,

I just spent about an hour going blind looking through the archives
via the search function, but with all the ink/paper combinations out
there it was numbing.  So...I am here asking an easy question.  Sorry.

So I am old-school - UT2 on an Epson 1280.  It works for me.  I
finally ran out of my permajet alpha, which I really liked, and it's
not available in the US.  So I'm looking for a comparable paper.

People had recommended Innova Smooth Cotton before, but it's a lot
whither than expected.  I think it's because I got confused and bought
the bright white variety.  

I can get the natural white, but I've seen some comments about it
having lower dmax than, say, Premier Art Smooth Hot Press.

So.  Recommendations?  I like the roughly $50ish for 25 sheets of
13x19 range.  205-300gsm, with a double-sided option is nice, too.  

thanks.  sorry for what is probably a dumb question.
