I wonder whether Fuji Hunt High Gloss (or Satin or Lustre paper) ever 
have been compared to the Kirkland paper.  About two weeks ago a friend 
with a 4000 showed me his gloss prints on the Fuji Hunt paper and there 
was hardly any bronzing visible. The sheets here are 280 grams but rolls 
are 260/240 grams. Can't compare them with Kirkland as that's not 
available here. Tomorrow I get some sheets of the two qualities and I 
will try them with MIS PK + Ultratones. The rolls are Gloss but not High 
Gloss. The US and Europe catalogues differ as usual.

It wouldn't surprise me if Fuji Hunt buys their paper in Swiss and Japan 
or let it coat in both countries.
