Gary,

As one of the people adventurous (stupid? insane?) enough to play with
mixed media, paint and inkjet, I can share a little experience.

Coated papers are wonderful for inkjet use, but they will drive a
painter right up the wall. Paint doesn't "flow" right, it sort of
instantly gets sucked into whatever part of the paper you first touch
brush to. It tends to end up too dark, and too sharp edged...

And most coated papers will wear out paint brushes very quickly. It's
all that clay, silica, etc.
