Like Seagul or Brilliant etc. There is considerable information in the DigitalBW forum archives on these topics...check under coatings, oriental, fiber-based. The best coating option is what I talked about yesterday, Hydrocote Polyshield Satin put down with a #30 Mayer rod. I personally use 300gm Eclipse Satine Softwhite paper for this...but many 300+ gm papers with a smooth surface will give good results. Robert
