[Leica] Need printing paper advice

[Christopher Crawford]

Richard,

I’d stick to Epson Velvet. It is a beautiful paper I have used for 15
years. I’m using it with my Epson P800 as well. I have tried a lot of
others, but using Epson’s paper is simpler and has given me the best
results when I wanted a matte surface paper.

For Glossy, I use Ilford Gold Fibre Silk or Epson Legacy Baryta.
