All Hahnemuhle papers have brigheners except Cone's wells river.  I
understand that all of coatings are supposed to be the same...but Hahnemuhle
is notoriously poor on quality control...huge variance in surface from
beginning to end of run...so you guess is as good as mine what the
difference might be.  Its also possible that the person that was using photo
rag was not looking critically for metamerism when they said they were good.

Using a RBG or CMYK workflow?  Do you use profilerpro with rbg...just
printing with the toned ink?
