I am not so sure if this is a right place to post the question, but I can start a thread of which paper you recommend for B&W printing? I start with my favorite one - Ilford Gold Monosilk with Canon Pro-1

Hi Henry, there are a lot of papers to choose from, any one paper could be perfect depending on the image, some may need a full gloss paper and some may suit a matt paper, the trick is to make the right choice.

To answer your question though I also like IG Mono silk,
I also like the Canson papers Baryta Photographique a satin finish paper and Rag photographique a lovely smooth matt paper.

Cheers Ray

Henry, this thread should probably be put in Post Processing/Printing..but not my call, just my thought. I use Red River papers and Canon papers. Preferring RR when printing for clients and Canon for friends.

As Ray states "there are a lot of papers to choose from". Red River has a "Sample Pack" of all its papers. Other paper manufacturers have them also.

Red River has a great summary of their papers and the use of the types for specific subjects.
John Paul Caponigro has a good one also.

It becomes a personal preference IMHO.

Lots of good Baryta, Matte, Pearl and Fine Art papers, but I love Innova White Semi-Matte for B&W (it does curl a little though).

I use a Canson matt, but lots of possibilities. Agree that if you post this over on PP you'll get a lot of good info (plus plenty of opinion)
