I just tried some of this new Hahnemuhle paper and was very impressed. The unprinted Satin has the look and feel of regular photo rag, but after printing the printed area develops a slight luster sheen. I was printing from a 4000 using QTR and MIS UC inks. The print looks similar to an air dried silver print, with slightly less gloss but a more luminous appearance. Very nice and rather unique surface. This will be my standard for awhile - no need for k3 inks with this paper. No bronzing, no gloss differential, no annoying surface reflections, and no "tacky" RC plastic paper feel. The best paper yet for my tastes and needs.
