I need advice on which paper choices would work best for my following needs:
1. I plan to print 11x17
2. I plan to insert the prints into a screw post album like this one:
http://www.joeyl.com/blog/creating-a-photography-portfolio/3. I'm open to either two-sided or single-sided paper
4. I want paper that will give me quality as good as the only paper I use now, which is Epson Ultra Premium Luster.
5. The paper needs to bend easily enough because the viewer will be flipping pages. I don't want to have to use a paper weight to keep the prints flat, nor do I want to damage the paper with creases while trying to hold the book open.
I probably should try the following because they come with the photo album i want to buy. Any winners?

(I know the Epson Exhibition Fiber would never work--too rigid).
MY HOPE: to find a paper that uses Photo Black PK ink like the Espon Luster but that is also flaccid enough for my screw post book. I'd rather not print on matte because it dulls the colors and the blacks (D-max). Unless there exists a matte glossy paper? I guess I could also use matte but treat it with a varnish to enrich the colors and blacks.
Do you see where I'm headed. I'm new to printing and can use some help in this very specific direction I'm headed.
