So, are you saying they don’t make the Gold Fiber Silk anymore? The reason I picked this one is because the only representation I could find of Baryta Papers showed this one as having the most texture. I felt like that would break up the gloss. I don’t like gloss or, I didn’t before this. Hahnemuhle makes a matte baryta paper, I just discovered but I can’t see how that would work. Maybe it would be better than regular matte paper, in that it might not scratch as badly. Regular paper is fine with me as long as you handle really dark prints or dark areas of a print with care. I’m gonna look for that paper you were talking about. If it’s better than this, I want it.

Again, recommend you try (sample kit ?) one of the Red River Baryta papers - Big Bend Baryta is smooth/semi-gloss and Palo Duro Baryta Fiber is Satin Semi-gloss (slightly more texture that Big Bend). Both come in rolls and are a lot less expensive than Hahnemule/Ilford papers - worth checking ? Here's a comparison of the two:
