Digital BW, The Print

Hi Mike,
for a bright white paper, I've been very happy with PremierArt Premium Matte - but that's been replaced by Presentation Matte now, which is much lighter at 180gsm and only single-sided - but it should look at least as good as the old paper if you don't mind the lighter weight. It had good dmax for a mat paper.
