Haven't printed anything big enough for it to show.  But there is nothing
like that in a gradient from left to right across a letter sized sheet.  The
paper has much less gelatin (and much more absorbency) than the cold press
so I think that won't be as much of a problem.  Nice paper for watercolors -
but probably too absorbent for inkjet printing.  Back to the paper chase.
