There are too many lustre papers out there. Epson Premium Lustre 260/250 is fine. And it depends on what you consider  E-surface: semi-gloss, lustre, pearl, silk, satin, semi-matte. They all mostly very good, although chock full of OBAs for the most part.

The baryta papers are better quality, such as Canson Baryta Photographique and the similar but now defunct Ilford Gold Fibre Silk.

Go to Lexjet.com and look for their E-Satin under "Photo Paper"  It's 300 gsm and is a dead ringer for the  wonderful but discontinued Canon HW 300gsm Satin.  Very reasonably priced in 100ft. rolls.  They also have a new version of this stock at 250gsm they call "Production E-satin".  I print a lot on this stock, mainly on an IPF8300.

Are lexjet products available outside N.America? Just had  quick look and it seems not, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

There's a huge amount of Kodak Endura E-surface like substrates available outside US, including countless clones of Ilford Smooth Pearl. I think it's the world's most popular texture.

Thanks for the nudge. Exploring the options at the moment. I have ordered samples of Tecco 310 pearl but hoping to try as many as possible.
