I didn't follow the details, but the aluminum mounting thread got me
thinking how interesting a B&W would look on a brushed metallic substrate.
The metallic paper sounds intriguing.

Although I don't think I'd like the finish, the thought of a Pictorico clear
base printed flipped and laminated carbon down to the metallic base sounded
like a glossy version.

On a tangent, I tested a Permajet spray that gives glossy paper a semi-matte
finish with very good, 2+ dmax.  It might be a contender.  I haven't seen if
it'll take the plastic look away from a laminated print or the like.
