"similar to" is a pretty broad brush, hard to know exactly what you're
looking for.  There are quite a few good matte papers available but
none are exactly alike (excepting rebranded ones of course).  They all
have strengths and weaknesses, and these attributes can vary depending
on the ink used.  Article #5 at the link below, "The Great Paper
Chase", has some comparison charts and comments on over 20 matte
papers.  The section for Eboni-based inks is probably closer to K7
than the K3 section.


Regards,
Clayton
