Digital BW, The Print

I'm nervously about to try my first ever glossy paper in an inkjet
printer.I've ordered some Harman Gloss FB Al.My printer is an Epson
4800 with K3 ink.I've been printing a long time with photorag 308 and
Epson VFA, and find I can get pretty close proofs with Epson EM.If I
end up liking the Harman gloss, those of you who use it what do you
use for proofing paper?

Thanks!

CS

I am using the Harman Gloss in a 4800 with K3 and I've found that the 
Canon "Gloss Photographic Paper, 190 GSM" is quite good and very 
inexpensive--about 0.50 per 13 x 19 sheet.  In this size, the part 
number for a 100 sheet box is 0848V610.  It's plenty good enough for a 
proof but I wouldn't want to do much else with it.

I am using both the Harman and Canon papers with profiles, but they are 
quite close without the profiles.

I use Ilford Gallerie Smooth Pearl for proofing.

It is a fine paper in its own right as far as RC (vs. fiber) papers
are concerned.

I have just started printing with Harman and am really blown away by 
it. It will be my new paper and I will post an "experience" post about 
it here soon. 

I have noticed that my regular paper of Epson Premium Semigloss looks 
very similar and would be a good less expensive proofing paper.
