Marcus, I don't have a Moab curve for UT2. I have not used the inkset in a while, but just loaded some this evening. So, maybe I'll get to it. For a paper with more "sheen," the Premium Semigloss might do it. Many like Luster, but I prefer the Semigloss and Semimatte, which for some reason is only available in rolls.

Im loving the inks and wish I could get something that has a little sheen to it. Right now I am using Moab entrada natural and I am loving it. I also use Somerset Velvet Radiant white (the uncoated one). I am enjoying both papers and highly reccomend them to anyone that likes a matte paper. Expecially the moab paper. When I printed in the darkroom, I used ilford multigrade fibre base with a pearl finish. Is there anything out there that is similiar to this? It must be archival or I will not use it. Print longevity is very important to me. I was wondering about the epson premium luster papers. If anyone could give me some suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. The information on this forum is great and it is what caused me to take the plunge and purchase a CIS system. Paul if your reading this, do you happen to have a curve for the moab papers for the UT2 inks? or what about the somerset velvet paper(the uncoated one)? Right now I am using the photorag curves and they seem to be working pretty good. I have learned a lot from you and appreciate the time you have put into making the curves and giving printing suggestions.
