You're a step ahead of me; I'm *about* to be looking for good glossy
and matte photo papers for use with the Generations ink (in an Epson
1200 printer).  The ones I've selected for initial evaluation are:
Weber-Valentine JPG-206 (glossy) and HGC-770 (matte), Somerset photo
enhanced, Hawk Mountain Red Tail (matte), and the Luminos preservation
glossy.  Currently I'm profiling them with OEM inks "for practice",
i.e. to get my profiling procedures down.  I don't recall Royal Plush
pricing, but I may not be staying within your boundaries there; the
Luminos makes even *me* wince.
