Yes, RC does still refer to resin coated. The Premium Luster, P. Semi Gloss, P. Glossy are inkjet papers that are poly resin coated, though certainly not identical to gelatin silver rc material. They have an ink receptor coating, not a polymer-silver coating, on the plastic base, but they look and feel pretty much the same, hence the term rc. The correct technical term for this type of inkjet paper is "microporous" inkjet media. That refers to the micro sized pores that the coating contains that allow the inks to penetrate slightly below the surface in building up the image. There is another type of rc inkjet media called swellable polymer, that was designed to provide more protection to dye inksets such as used in the Epson 1280, etc. to protect them from gas fading.
