I have an Epson 2400. I've made about 100 prints with it so far, 80 of them 
on matte paper, 10 on F surface and 10 on E surface (glossy and lustre). The 
F-surface (glossy) black-and-whites are better than the 10-year-old lightjet 
prints I have of the same negatives. The E-surface (lustre) prints are 
absolutely the best B&W prints I've ever seen.

I put one of them through the dishwasher to test its waterproofness, then 
flattened it in the drymount press. Indistinguishable from one that didn't 
get this treatment.
