Yes
There seems so much to choose from!

Loxley seem to have only 2 types but a few finishes but DSCL seem to have a lot of types.

What would people recommend for black and white prints? The new titanium sounds interesting from DSCL.
 
Possibly better asked in the Printing and Presentation area. If you use the Report button (just beside the "ynot, ? minutes ago" below your post) and ask the moderation team nicely, they might move it for you.

IMO, such things are very much a matter of personal taste. Again, IMO, B&W needs to be printed with just black and grey inks rather than on a normal inkjet, otherwise metamerism often rears its ugly head.
 
Its all down to personal choice

I tend to only print on high gloss and that's both Colour and B&W, my printer only has one black and I don't get (Or have not seen) metamerism on the paper I use which is the 300gsm high Gloss sold by 7dayshop.

Still looking for a good smooth Matt paper to use though, other than Epson's heavy weight Matt, anyone got any recommendations for a Matt that is better than Epsons own, but not their archival Matt as that is supposed to be only for Pigment printers.

Not tried the DSCL one, but have tried a few from Fotospeed and PermaJet - the fotospeed meatallic pearl 295 seems to work well with B&W http://www.fotospeed.com/Metallic-Pearl-295gsm/products/93/

I do very little B&W printing so there may be better options.
