Best papers to use

[ignatiusjk]

What papers would you recommend for show type prints,in both B&W and color. I tried Epsons Exhibition paper but was not really impressed. Can you give me some names of papers you like. I want to be able to make 16x20's . Will I get the same or better quality from computer papers as silver prints?

Matte black or Photo black papers?

With matte black, Hahnemuhle German Etching is very nice with bw. I haven't tried it with color. With photo black Ilford gallery gold silk fibre is excellent. Regarding quality, I can't answer that. The inkjet prints are different from the silver prints. Which one is better depends on the image and your taste.
