Just thought I would share some early observations I have of this 
paper using with QTR on a 4000 with OEM UC inks.

The calibration chart for setting each ink limit is showing the 100% 
K patch to read a Dmax of 1.95(!) In my experience this is unheard of 
for matte papers using MK inks. I created QTR profiles using 80% K 
limits and 50% overlap, and am reading 100% at Dmax of 1.8. That is 
not too shabby either. My experience with EEM is at best around 1.65 
to 1.7.

HPR Satin is an interesting paper, but is does show some weird 
bronzing/gloss differential effects.
