no nonsense matte?

2009-02-25 by Myron Gochnauer

Using both Epson inks on a 4880 and MIS inks on an R1800 (with 3-mk  
setup), I am generally quite pleased with Moab's Kayenta and Lasal  
papers, as well as Premier Art BW Matte (sold by MIS).

I would like to find a paper of similar quality and price that is  
"optical brightener free".  I've never demanded that my photographic  
paper be pure cotton, or bamboo, or anything used by the ancient  
Egyptians.  "Alpha cellulose" and acid-free will do nicely.

Any suggestions?  Ideally, it would be something available in 17"  
rolls as well as cut sizes.  And it would still be available next year.

Kayenta seems to have hit the mark for many of us, and is now back by  
popular demand.  A "natural white" equivalent would be ideal.

Thanks.
Myron
