Have you tried Ilford's Smooth Galerie Inkjet paper - alas it is
however less than archival.....but very very nice as a proof.

I'm making quad tone prints on my Epson 1160 printer using MIS inks. I hope
to purchase the Cone driver next and print using it on transparency material
for enlarged negatives using MIS FS inks.
A well scanned 4x5 negative makes a pretty good looking 13x19 inch print. I
just wish I could get a glossy or semi-glossy paper. Although these tools
are by no means perfect they provide a relatively easy, affordable, and
quick way to proof work. I think that is important to see the results of
your work ASAP to provide continued growth as a photographer, at least for
me that is important. From these proofs I can get an impression about what I
want to do with an image.
Sorry about this diverted discussion into digital image making but I just
thought some readers may find a personal impression of these tools useful
and possibly interesting. I am certainly no expert as some on his list are
but I do see the potential now that these desktop components have become
reasonably priced with acceptable minimum capabilities.
Thanks,
Don
