Inkjet paper that looks like the lab

[Jimmyz]

I have the Epson 4880 and although the prints look great on Kodak Professional Luster paper they just don't have the feel of a real lab print, my lab uses Fuji.
I have tried Lexjet sunset and Epson luster and Ilford smooth pearl and they are nice papers but they look like ink-jet paper. Does anyone know of a high quality professional ink-jet paper that has the weight,texture and feel of Fuji paper?

Did you check the hahnemuehle series?
I do like their photo rag pearl and fine art baryta paper, but they are expensive.

They offer as well icc profiles for download on their site

I like the Ilford Gallerie Smooth Pearl paper - makes excellent prints on my printer that most folks think they came from the lab.

Hi Nicolas I just ordered a sample pack.
I have the Ilford smooth pearl.
My problem is we shoot about 85% high key and when I print on the 4880 you can see where the ink was laid down on the paper it has a shinny or glossy look almost like a decal on the page that is only noticeable when the page is tilted and the light hits it but it is noticeable.
