So far I was not impressed by prints made with Arches or Canson papers 
and pigment inks. ArjoMari/Wiggins is also a very strange company to 
deal with from The Netherlands. Headquarters for the Benelux in Brussels 
isn't helping. The agent here doesn't know a bit about inkjet papers, 
the Belgium one was friendly but didn't keep their promises for a new 
range of proof papers.  There's an unbelievable arrogance within that 
company, that has been the case with their traditional art papers and it 
isn't changed now. Pricing too high, odd roll formats, hard to get and 
in my opinion the quality not at the Dmax and smoothness of Innova or 
HM.  It may just be that it is hard to get the good paper from that 
company. As I understand it they sold another quality in the US than in 
Europe.

Bergger makes a better quality coating on Arches paper than any other 
Arches paper I could lay my hands on. But it is more expensive than the 
competition.
