Handmade papers and fine-art printing

[Roberto Frieri]

Hi to you all.
I've recently used a few "washi" papers to make some test prints, both with Epson Ultrachorme and Piezography inks.
Since I like the results, I would like to go on testing more handmade papers and try to figure out if and how I could make use of them to produce fine-art prints.

I've already searched the forum and found useful threads:

Even if I'm not a professional, I'd love to hear from other photographers and printmakers about their experiences:
- what are your favourite handmade papers and why?
- how do you choose the best handmade paper for your fine-art prints?
- what kind of images do you print preferably on handmade papers?
- any particular printing issue? (I use two Epson printers: a Stylus Photo R2880 and a Stylus Pro 3880)
And so on...

I use Golden Digital ground on my paper to print and get very good color and sharpness. I haven't tried InkAid Matte yet.
