Tom,

The differential sheen is so marked that it is readily apparent even 
looking straight on.  It is just horrible.  How anyone cannot see it 
straight off is beyond me.  I have posted two copies of the image to 
the dealer, one on PR and the other on PR Satin for his comments, 
both using UT2.  I have made no observations of my own.

I will print a step wedge using BO (Eboni)at the weekend if I have 
the time and hope to confirm my favourable impression of the result.  
The paper finish is, I think, lovely albeit with a warm tone, but it 
would be a shame if I could only use it for BO.

Is there anyone else out there having success or failure?

Colin
