Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

I've been making my B&W prints on an Epson R2400 with ABW and using
Museo Silver Rag and MIS K4 inks with EZBW Yellow substituting for
yellow.  

I now want to give the Piezography K7 inks a try using the QTR.  What
matte papers will look closest to a silver gelatin print?  

I've read Clayton Jones' paper chase article, but would like some more
input.  Does Hahnemuhle Photo Rag still have a problem with flaking? 
Innova Fiba Photo and Innova Smooth Cotton both look interesting.  So
does Hawk Mountain Condor Bright White.  I would appreciate any
comments or suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I like Hahnemuhle William Turner a lot. I have not had any problems 
with HPR, but I have heard about both flaking and batches that are 
bad with K7 (it bleeds/ cannot take all the ink it should). 

I like Innova Cold Press Art too. I think it gives really good 
results with my K7 MPS Selenium inks if you like the rather rough 
surface - but I have a had some problems with dust or perhaps flaking 
giving small white spots. -The remedy or fix was to print the part of 
the image where flaking occured on a transparent film that do not 
absorb the ink. -It gives the right ink mix / grey shade for the 
"flaked" part. With a really fine brush and a loupe it was quite easy 
to paint the right density ink into the damaged spot. - A large print 
saved!
