Dan -
Today I made some prints using Ilford Gallerie High Gloss Smooth on the Canon Pro-100.
Absolutely bullet-proof and perfection. Instant immediate drying and very robust color and depth. Seems very tough too.
Perhaps you might give it a try. Ilford has ICC profiles for most printers right on their site under support.
This could be the paper you're looking for.
I made a test print using the modified Atkinson chart, (Printer Evaluation Image), and everything held up with exacting clarity and faithful reproduction.

I imagine this paper would work perfectly on your Epson 1430 dye printer as well.

Mark,
Absolutely give you all the credit on that one.
After your suggestion I purchased it and fell in love.
Now if only I could find a 24" format printer that takes the 9 dye inkset,similar to Claria.
Jon Cone sells the Dye Thrift but it is weak on longevity.
The CL he sells is only 6 inks with no grays so it is no good for B&W.
