Hi Ann! So nice to see you back on the PDML!
Yes, paper and ink combinations matter a lot. I was never able to get consistent B&W printing until I want to a quad-tone inkset and RIP prior to the R2400 printer, and even then odd results would happen if I used certain papers. The only exception to this was the HP printers that include a grayscale cartridge and used with their own papers ... The R2400's pigment inks include almost a full quad-tone black set and seems to be much more consistent in this regard than any of the dye ink printers. I standardize on matte surface papers anyway, because I like them more, but I've printed work to some of the glossy and lustre surface now and find it to be equally consistent.
