Epson Hot press Bright has been out of stock for a while now, most roll sizes. Lexjet has been ignoring me. I'm starting to wonder..
Any other distributors out there for this paper? I'm in Southern California.
Good alternative heavyweight smooth matte papers?

The papers that have OBA content are always risky on the long term, the paper white will shift. The Epson Hot Press Bright seems to be quite stable in that category so recommending an alternative paper with OBA content could well become a bad advice.
Spectral plot considered Hahnemühle Photorag Bright White comes close. Also with OBA content and with a faster paper white shift in time compared to the EHPB. See Aardenburg Imaging tests for both papers.
Similar Lab L value but warmer the Canson Rag Photographique, as already mentioned. No OBA content so a safer advice.
