What do you mean by traditional polymer coated...examples of papers please.
There are acid free archival gelatine papers...so I take that back.  What is
the dmax on an uncoated paper like Somerset Velvet?  The microporous papers
that I'm aware of are not acid free and usually gloss or luster papers.  So
whether the SG's are suitable for fine art printing literally comes down to
lightfastness.  Correct me if I'm wrong...but lyson tested for lightfastness
on a paper that the inks show poor metamerism on...correct?
