Digital BW, The Print

I'm currently using the Harman fiber glossy and Ilford fiber gold as my 
2 main B&W papers.  With the Harman I get super results, and with the 
Ilford a close 2nd but it needs 2 coats of print shield to remove the 
gloss differential.  Theres also still a sheen left ...  However, the 
Ilford is half the price.  How does the new spendy Epson paper compare? 
Also, does anyone know of a matte paper with great blacks ...   I use 
Hahn... Photorag and Moab entrada.  

Thanks in advance!

Yes, the new Epson is expensive, but I think it's worth the price.At 
least for me, using it on Epson 3800 with the ABW profile made by Eric 
Chan. I get better results than with Hahn.

Luca,

Have you found a way to cure pizza wheel marks with Exhibition Fiber? I 
was unable to print that paper on my 3800 without them and have ruled 
it out because of that and its expense.

Derek,

I never had pizza wheel with EEF, except one time, being the paper 
longitudinally a little bending.I'm very careful to have the sheet
perfectly flat and no problem.
