Thanks Paul. I'd be interested in some more detail in the other 
papers you tried as well. For this particular project I'm looking for 
a paper that is should be
- matte
- slightly warm (photo rag-like)
- sharp
desirable, but negotionable:
- slightly textured
- available on 13" roll (I need a panorama-like aspect ratio, 11" 
roll would even be better, but I'm not aware of its existence)

High Dmax is in this project not the key criterium as the images are 
all rather light-toned.

If anything else fails, I might go for Photo Rag 188 that is 
available on 13" roll. But I'm open fot suggestions
