I agree about the excessive pebbly-ness of Premium Luster, which is why I've
switched to Premium Semigloss. It has basically the same texture, but on a
smaller scale.

I had never heard of this Semimatte before, but on examining its specs, it
looks intriguing. Unfortunately, it only seems to be available in 16" or
wider rolls. To use it on a 2200, I'd have to cut off 13" or shorter pieces.
Has anyone else tried this paper with the Ultrachrome inks? Does it need the
PK ink, or can you use MK on it?
