>>1) What is the difference between Velvet Fine Art and UltraSmooth?

>>4) How do these compare with Premier Fine Art?

>PFA has no OBAs.  

>InkJetArt.com puts it in same class as PhotoRag for
>Dmax, any users verify this?

With Eboni in my 1280 PR gets an average 1.64 and UltraSmooth more like 1.6.
(In the 3000 it's an even larger gap -- PR goes up, UltraSmooth down.) 

>5) Any other comments about these (Dmax, Flaking, general impressions)?

UltraSmooth is non-flaking and probably the most archival of the papers.  PR
still gets the dynamic range prize for cotton papers (until the new Permajet
paper is released -- and I'll bet it's a new Hahnemuhle that will be
released at the same time).
