Epson Hot Press papers (Natural and Bright) are actually my favourite papers. They are nice, give high Dmax with carbon matte inks (I get 1.70 with Eboni 1.0) with very smart tones, and the prints do not seem to be fragile at all. Like all matte papers, if you put your fingers on dark zones you might get some traces, but I noticed that Hot Press prints are far less sensitive to scratches than Hahnem�hle papers (Photorag or Bamboo). In fact, I do not use any protection. The only drawback of Hot Press papers is that they are difficult to find in Europe at a good price. As off today, I've been buying them directly in the USA...
