Digital BW, The Print

I was afraid someone was going to say that :).  So, then, to help get
this type of look I should spray, e.g. PremierArt print shield
afterwards?  I was hoping to avoid this, but I guess there's no free
lunch.

What are some papers that have this ultra-low gloss characteristic? 
I've been wanting to try a couple Epson papers that don't seem to come
in letter size (I'm using an R220) -- premium semimatte and
UltraSmooth fine art (which I know is matte, so would need some type
of varnish); would either of these (with or without spraying) get me
closer to this look?

I've tried a couple sheets of HPR Satin, with matte black ink, and
while the slight sheen is nice, the texture is too intrusive, esp. at
smaller print sizes/closer viewing distances.  Is there anything else
like HPR Satin, but smoother (and ideally using matte black ink)?
