Matte paper.  It's at the bottom of the list there.  I believe this is the
same paper that they labeled as "Dual" matte in a beta test pack to me.  The
"dual" was probably just to highlight that it was coated on both sides.  An
acid-free paper with a dmax better than EEM and price about the same as EEM
seems like a good deal.  

My recollection is that it is very bright and prints cold -- which the BO
prints might like.  I also found it was very sharp -- which is a mixed bag.
The bad news in this is that it makes dots stand out more than on most
papers.  The UT-FS-Y option for UT2 and UT7 printers might make a visible
difference with the paper.
