Digital BW, The Print

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of some confusion here, but it 
does sound like similar stuff. "Our" GPPW is pretty glossy, but not a 
full gloss. It's definitely not a pearl type paper like Premium Semi-
Gloss either. I haven't heard of it in rolls over here, but the paper 
packs I've had didn't have the separator sheets. I haven't got any of 
it to hand, and I can't remember too much about the backing. I like 
it much better than the semi-gloss though, as it's much less prone to 
bronzing.
