Default getting that silver gelatin look w/ inkjet printer

Hi All,
Does anyone have any recommendations for recreating a silver gelatin look i.e. what type of paper to use or maybe settings? I am using lightroom 3 I also have CS5. I am printing on a Epson 3880 using standard Epson inks. I know there are so many different types of fine art papers from many different companies I dont know where to start.
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

You could try Harman Gloss fb al. http://www.harman-inkjet.com/product...ta+Photo+Paper

If you want to get super into BW printing - I recommend getting the Harrington Quadtone RIP.

The really nice silver gelatin prints were baryta based, so you may also look for a neutral and semi glossi baryta paper.
