Has anyone used Guardian paper? I asked the question in the piezo group 
and got no response.

The specs made it look good. But once I got my sample pack and printed 
some piezoBW prints with it, it appears that it isn't coated (at least 
not with a coating that I would use). The blacks are weak and there is 
a mottled look to it, like I applied a speckled filter or something to 
the image.
