Digital BW, The Print

Does anyone here use them? I almost never see them mentioned anywhere, and am 
wondering what people's experiences with any of these papers are, especially any of you 
who print BO, but I also use QTR, so any comments are appreciated.

Many of the "fine art" papers are made by Hahnemuhle.

I've used the Legion Photo Matte quite a bit for B&W, and like it.

I have used the Legion Matte paper for many years. I like it also but 
I don't use it anymore because I have many prints in my print bin that 
have yellowed on the white border areas within a period of about 4 
years. This paper has a lot of oba content and it burns off fast, in 
my experience faster than E Enhanced Matte even. If you do use it I 
would put it behind glass after printing or spray it with some 
protective coat very soon. The other thing is papers like this and the 
Innova Fiba print really don't save you much money over 100% rag and 
other papers of much higher quality in my opinion if you are buying 
them in roll or sheet pack form.

Thanks, John. That's what I wondered about.
