I cannot speak more highly of Innova F. Currently printing a series of ~25 13x19" black and white prints on this paper and they are blowing me away. Rich, deep, very three-dimensional-ish. Using matte paper when this paper is available is a very poor alternative in my opinion with everything else being equal. I use the 2400 but will get a 3800 as soon as I can get my hands on one.
