Digital BW, The Print

Hello.  Thanks for the research and feedback. I noticed this paper 
myself on a recent trip to Costco,
but has anyone tested it with the various inks that we talk about here? 
  For example,
how does the paper perform in terms of tonal value to say Epson Premium
Semi-gloss using a 2200 with Epson carts?  Since it's Ilford, how does 
it compare to
other Ilford papers that people have used?  Regards, Peter G.
