I'm more of a Matte finish guy, but based on the comparison prints I made at the shop a few weeks ago, the Harmon Gloss Fb and Exhibition Fine Art papers were virtually indistinguishable. I bought two boxes of the Epson paper to experiment with. Now I'm just waiting until my Matte Black ink cart needs to be replaced as it is recommended to use the Photo Black ink with it for best results. I've not yet put Photo Black ink into the R2400 ... and I've owned it since October 2005!
