fine art matte photo paper

2005-10-08 by leepermenter

Guys,

I am happy as a clam with the QuadTone RIP. I'm finally getting 
prints from my Epson 2200 that don't exhibit metamerism using Epson 
EM paper and the curves available on the RIP.I've found a mixed 
coolSE and Sepia produces a nice print.

A couple of people have pooh-poohed the EEM paper's archival quality 
because it tends to yellow. I guess I've noticed that, too. I sell 
my prints, so that is an issue for me.

My quesiton: What matte finish, fine art paper (whose curves are 
available on the QTR!) would you recommend? I read what people say 
on the Web, but you know how that goes. There are so many choices 
and it's pretty confusing. Also, who's a good vender for these kinds 
of fine art papers?

And could you let me know what the curve abbreviations are on the 
QTR. I've figured out Moab Entrada (is that a good one?). I notice 
that there are several choices in the ME paper -- weight, whiteness, 
etc. Do the QTR curves work for all those choices?

Essentially I need a good, high-white matte finish paper (letter and 
A3 sizes) that I can use my Epson 2200 matte black cartridge with. I 
work only in black and white. Cost, of course, is a consideration.

Fire away, experts!
