Best matte paper for photo black on Epson 4800
« on: November 13, 2007, 01:53:20 am »

I know this is sort of a "wrong" question, but I am curious what matte paper people have found works best with the photo black ink in the 4800.  I realize the blacks will have higher L and the prints lower dMax as a result, but we all know what a hassle ink switching is.  

I mostly use Luster and Harman Gloss so I am "committed" to PK.  But, there are times when a matte print looks better.  I'll do it infrequently so I'll accept the compromise.

Thanks for any suggestions/comments.

I also print with the 4800 and I like the matte look, but also like the dMax that the PK ink affords. I like the surface from a semi-matte paper and found the Innova F- Print Gloss Semi Matte to my likeing. A nice weight (300g/m2) also.

Anybody else use PK inks with a matte finish paper?
