I've also discovered this.  I prefer the Arches Hot Press "Bright White"
(no OBAs, and not really very much brighter than the standard Arches).  The
full sheets -- 22 x 30 inches are what I find work the best.  The rolls are
bad and pads are bad news.

Because the ink limits are held low, the inksets with lots of grays
probably are going to work the best.

My old 7500 made bid dots -- don't bother with that era printer.

Getting good prints on Arches is not easy, and thus has that much more
attraction for those who are really into B&W printing.  The coatings of
standard inkjet papers are probably going to be a source of trouble in the
very long run.
