For prints of more importance I use Epson's Lustre or Archival Matte. Then for those prints that I really care about I will use Arches Smooth Finish. No real issues with any of the papers although I sometimes have to add very small amounts of red or magenta when printing B&W on different batches of the Kirkland paper: one batch will print with no curve needed and the next will need a very small amount of magenta or red.
