There aren't that many paper mills and coating plants out there in the
world, based on your description I'll bet this is it. You are right,
it will be very ink dependant. SOmeinks will not take to the gelatin
and bead up on the surface. THere will be a gloss differencial, and I
found pizza wheels to be a problem because the ink is still wet going
under them.
BUT!!! If you are using an ink that will work on it, want a less
photographic look (more texture, warmer base) it can work well and be
quite rich.
I made the old piezo inks work on it with careful ink limiting and
severe partitioning for low total ink, and actually liked it. But
limited application.
