Low cost fine art paper (dye based)

Hi guys, I know a lot of you are going to laugh at the title but if you were on a budget and wanted something a bit more interesting that plain gloss what would it be?
It being semi gloss with some texture, id try matt, but I have not gotten satisfactory results out of my pro 100 with any matt papers I have tried, My fault? or dye based fault?
I have gone thru all my harman sample pack, And have a 50 pack of Canon glossy for regular prints,
I really liked Harman's (Gloss art fibre warm tone) However the price is lets just say ''ASTRONOMICAL'' ''by my standards'' So I'm looking for alternatives.

''also I'm out of ink for my pro 100, So if anyone has a fix on the cheapest way to go, id be interested too''

I think the "cheapest way to go" is OEM...you're less likely to have to discard the printer that way.

A good friend and very fine printer does beautiful B&W and color with his Pro100 and OEM. Perhaps your issue is "learning curve".
