There is 0 chance that the papers have the same coatings. The 
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag is produced in Germany and imported into the 
U.S. The Eclipse Satine is produced entirely in the US at the moment 
and the coatings are very different. They do print similarly however. 
I've been able to use the Generations ink on both papers with very 
similar but different profiles on a 1200.

On this same subject about the Eclipse Satine, someone in an earlier 
post asked about some of the specs on the materials used and I didn't 
have time to respond at the time. The paper is 100% cotton, is 
buffered with 3% Calcium Carbonate and is pH neutral. There are no 
optical brighteners in the base, but there is < 1% OB's in the 
coating. The soft white contains no OB's whatsoever.

I'm working on getting better specs from Hahnemuhle as well and will 
post them here when I get a chance.
