Has anyone else worked with this paper from Inkjetart in Salt Lake 
City?  While waiting to use QTR with the 4000 I've been learning the 
Epson Gray Balancer and got better looking results from this paper 
than from Moab Entrada and the price is incredibly low.  It achieves 
considerably greater density and both papers recommend using EEM as 
the "media."  Inkjetart introduced the paper to its e-mail 
subscribers in their 14 Jul newsletter.    

BTW, the Epson Gray Balancer isn't hard to use, if you work from i-
photo's tutorial, and the results are good.  The only problem has 
been that daylight cruelly reveals the metamerism issue with its 
cyan cast.  The prints looked good under various forms of artificial 
light.  I took my images to the gallery and they looked neutral in a 
mix of tungsten and fluorescent.  The magenta problem with 
fluorescent pretty much disappeared.  Two other digital printers 
liked the look, especially the warmish yellow sepia.  Still, I can't 
wait to use QTR.  GB will be for papers that don't work with QTR.
