the best paper

[framah]

I have a customer who has asked me what is the very best paper to print his images on.  Based on the few images I saw, my first thought was toilet paper... but seeing as how his money is as good as anyone else, i will print anything he brings in. 

Obviously, his work will sell better if it is on the best paper available to him. ... and my Mercedes car payment will be assured for this month.

So... what would you consider the best paper out there based on the gamut and brighteners and weight  and surface texture and such.  I have an Epson 9900.
His images are photographs and he doesn't want any photo looking paper but more artsy paper.
Thanks, guys.

Long time no see

Try http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=46752.0, someone else asked this question last week. Also do a quick bit of searching, you'll find lots of threads on the topic.

I am very partial to Canson Platine Fiber Rag. Here are some comments about it and several other fine papers:

Its not cheap, but that's not what you're looking for!

Thanks, guys!
 I already have a roll of the Canson Platine Rag. It just came in this week and I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
I might get a roll of Epson Exhibition Rag and a roll of Canson Rag Photographique. The name alone should impress him!!
