Digital BW, The Print

Folks,

I have been using the Pictorico Dualside Photo Paper for my small portfolio pages for a 
little while, but I recently found out they no longer carry it in the 11x17 size I need, so I 
now have to find a decent replacement paper.  Bummer...

I liked the paper for several qualities.  It was somewhat creamy white, with little optical 
brightners, so the paper didn't look blue under some light.  I felt the surface was much 
better then the RC style surface found on many other photo papers, and the fact that the 
paper had the same surface on both sides was a plus.  It had a nice weight for a book of 
sheets, and the paper didn't mar with rub marks liek the matte papers, and it didn't show 
fingerprints like the glossy papers.

Basically, it was a great paper for handing around in a portfolio situation.

Can anyone recommend a replacement paper that has similar qualities?  I have a sample 
box from Red River, and they had one called Zeppelin that was similar, but it is gone too, I 
believe.  I don't know of others that are similar, and it's real hard to do this over the 
internet.  Unfortunately, I can't get to PMA and can't wait until PhotoExpo.

Any suggestions?
