The paper quality, colour depth, control available via programs such as Photoshop, and now, print longevity, are outstanding. On the other hand, even though I happen to like the look of some of the larger sized black and white prints I have made with my Epson on their heavyweight matte paper, for better or for worse, they don't have the look of a fibre based print . The look and feel is just different. Mainly the feel. But it's just a matter of time.... Dan C.
