Epson Legacy Fiber
I've been looking for a quality, smooth surface, 300 gsm matte paper that's not as expensive as the top brands, this one clicks all the boxes for me. I believe it might be made by Canson. It has a slightly warmer base than the others I've looked into, hard to tell though unless you compare side by side. Excellent blacks, etc.. I'm a little concerned it might be marked for discontinuation, which would be sad!
Still the standard
I reviewed this paper several years ago when it was released. I chose it after I tested an Epson sample pack. More recently, I tested it against a Hahnemuhle sample pack. At least on the Epson SC-P800, the clarity and contrast of images printed on this paper is unsurpassed. Color and black and white prints look wonderful on this paper. I now print some images on Hahnemuhle PhotoRag Pearl, but have noticed that shadows print much darker on that paper. Epson Legacy Fibre remains my standard paper.
