Andrew ,
Thanks for your reply and suggestions.I have not made any b&w prints
since I had a darkroom and was shooting film.25 years ago.

For the past 2 years ,Ive been using Epson luster for both my color
and a handful of b&w prints,that I've attempted to print.

I would like to try the hahnemuhle fine art,and the Ilford galeria gold
I dont know I need a 300 weight paper,I would prefer something a
little lighter in a luster,or satin finish.

What do you use for your B&W printing?Again Im on a big learning curve
now.
Any thoughts on epson exhibition paper .

Thanks again for your help

Mike
