The most important material is the focusing substrate as it defines the look and detail of the final image more than anything. I tried lots of different papers and things like white polystyrene and bead blasted aluminum. In the end I liked really fine paper the best. This part still needs lots of experimentation. The finer the surface structure, and the more reflective the material, the more it approaches an actual mirror and that completely destroys the whole thing.

Ordinary white paper was what I ended-up using in the FourSee TDCI Multi-Camera . The best image quality was actually using an Illford inkjet paper, except it was glossy enough to give some reflections.

You might consider Epson Proofing White SemiMatte next time. An RC paper without OBA content but with very high white reflectance, and a more continuous reflection along the visible spectrum. There are smooth matte inkjet papers that come close to that reflectance value without the glossy issues. With and without OBA content.

Or select another inkjet paper from the data shown in SpectrumViz. For that tool I measured more than 700 inkjet papers + some other paper types.  https://www.pigment-print.com/spectralplots/spectrumviz_1.htm   Free download

Ilford Imaging that made their own inkjet paper qualities in Swiss no longer exists and the brand name is now run by an Australian/Chinese? company that buys paper from different sources.
