Bill, I'm a little late to this thread, but if you still need a suggestion: I love the baryta papers, but as far as I know they all have a surface texture. Pictorico Hi-gloss white film is the sharpest, glossy paper I have experience with. Absolutely flat with no surface texture and very saturated colors. It is about as close to Cibachrome as any inkjet can hope to be.Thanks to all for your input. I have been using Epson Premium Luster but I have a project that needs truly glossy paper. I shall certainly look into the Baryta options.
I tested many papers but fully agree regarding the Epson Exhibition Fiber (Epson Traditional in Europe). I use it after testing of dozens of papers as my standard. For Matt I recommend Canson Rag Photographique II.For glossy surface and high detail, I've used the Epson Exhibition Fiber paper. I don't know how it compares to the other glossy papers because I've been satisfied with what it renders like and haven't tried others. I don't print glossy surface very often, only when I feel the subject matter is apropos for this kind of rendering.
