Digital BW, The Print

I second your comment on the Harmon Gloss..I find it outstanding for my b/w
and also feel it works well for Color.the Ilford Gold is a good choise as
well.  It has a bit too much texture for my taste but is substantially
cheaper than the Harmon Fiber.    Another nice one is the Epson Exhibition
Fiber.  Again it has some Texture as well.

I really like the Harmon gloss. Closest thing I have ever found to 
silver. I have looked at them all. Very expensive, but beautiful 
surface and amazingly high d-max and sharpness. For an RC type paper I 
have been using Epson Premium Semigloss for years. It is much cheaper 
and looks really good drymounted. Saying that though, the Harmon is 
better if you can afford it. One way I have kept cost down is that I 
have taken and really like Clayton Jones' suggestion of making test 
prints on 1/4 letter sized pieces. Never thought that would work, but 
it does wonderfully and saves a bundle on ink and paper.
