all this digital printing stuff makes my head spin--just too many  
variables!

i've been doing it fairly simply so far: just using my Epson 2200  
with QuadTone RIP on the standard inkset and enhanced matte paper.   
i'm fairly pleased with the results.  i would like a slightly warmer  
paper with a low-gloss surface like ilford Warmtone FB silver paper  
air dried.  i just can't quite get a good D-max on this matte paper,  
but the glossy and pearl surfaces look so fake.

do you folks recommend another inkset?  i'm doing only black and  
white prints, and using the "warm" curve with QuadTone RIP.

this new hannemuhle paper sounds promising, but will probably be  
really expensive.
