Allen, I'm still swamped and haven't sent the papers I promised. I think it's safe to assume Brightcube's Xtreme Gamut 
Gelatin Art is tha same as Xtreme Gamut's paper of the same name from other dealers. This, as well as Media Street Artist 
Water Color Paper 140 lb. and Red River Caspian Art Card., appear to be the Oce.
Regarding Arches, my last tests were looking good with Piezo inks and PressReady, then I discovered a regular pattern of 
unevenness in what should have been smooth tones. It didn't reveal itself at first because my test images were very 
textural. I'm wondering if sizing watercolor papers is a much less precise process than coating inkjet papers, they don't 
need to be. Have you noticed any such problems with Arches?
One paper I think your ink would kick butt on is Lumijet Premium DW Glossy. I think it would be the closest match to an air 
dried fiber selenium toned silver print available for inkjet. It was discontinued, but I heard it would be brought back to 
market. The longevity with Lysonics was pretty astounding compared to clay coated papers, I'm quite sure it was gelatin 
coated.
