Digital BW, The Print

Arthur,

I would start with the new Baryta coated papers.  My personal favorite 
is the Ilford Gold Fiber Silk.  It is slightly warm tone, very smooth 
and not too much gloss.  The Harmon Gloss is whiter and too glossy for 
my taste.  Another paper I have had good luck iwht is the Innova 
Fibepeint Satin (semi matte).  It has a bit more texture and less gloss 
but is also a wonderful paper. Whiteness is between the other 2.

I really like the extra Dmax of these papers and the dynamic range it 
allows, although lately I have been wondering if I shouldn't wander 
back to the matte papers for the depth and 3 demensionality they 
provide.  Oh well, its always something.

Anyway, the Ilford is much cheaper than the others, so it might be a 
good place to start.
