Just a guess from a long time user of multiple hahnemule papers. I'm betting 
this paper will be a better performer in regards to flaking than the others. 
My initial thought was " a better choice for books" It prints almost identicle 
to william turner just smoother and a real Velvet surface. I would also bet 
its a better choice for roll users as its not as stiff as the thick Turner and P 
Rag. Now if your using UltraChrome inks I think the blacks with this ink are 
very prone to scuffing on any paper.
