My personal taste; mainly matte art papers, textured and smooth, Hahnemühle, Canson, Innova. For gloss, RC papers like Ilford Smooth Pearl. That said I have used about 25 qualities and similar in stock as the customer can ask for 56 gr newspaper, films, foils, baryta, low weight matte up to 350 gr Museum Etching, their images, their taste. I have a soft spot for semi rotary gravure B&W quad inkjet prints on uncoated offset papers, low Dmax, warm paper. There is no why but nostalgia.
