[Leica] Need printing paper advice

[rclompus at mac.com (Richard Clompus)]

I have taken to heart the concept that you need to print your best images.  
Storing them on a hard drive makes it difficult to really enjoy them or to 
give them to others as gifts.  So my current project is to print a portfolio 
of black & white nude images taken during a Leica Master Class with Ralph 
Gibson in San Francisco. I learned a lot from him in 3 days. I?m very 
pleased with the images but have no clue how to exhibit them.  I?ve 
hesitated to post nudes to our gallery but would be willing to share a few 
if there is interest.  They are reminiscent of timeless nudes from Imogen 
Cunningham and Edward Weston. 

I?m printing with an Epson P800 printer and started with Epson Velvet Fine 
Art Paper (8.5 x 11?).  Its a mat paper, 100% rag content, acid free, 19 mil 
thickness, 260 gm weight with a slightly textured surface.  I?m ready to 
treat myself with better paper but don?t have any experience with rag paper 
from Moab, Canson, Hahnem?hle or Museo.  These fine art papers get expensive 
very quickly so I?ve decided to use 8.5 x 11 for now.

Can someone share their experience with the rag paper of their choice? 

Many thanks,
Richard
