Hi Carl,

Yes, I too have tried HPR Satin and found the surface to have too 
much texture.  I am coyping the response to a query from Premier.  

"Hi Paul,
Yes this is one of our PremierArt fine art inkjet medias. The reason 
you have not found this on our web site is do to the constant 
reconstruction and updates that are in progress. A pdf will be posted 
soon. Mean while let me try to assist in product description.
A 100% cotton rag base with a luster finish coating. This paper and 
coating is 100% acid free so the product is archival. Photo Blk ink 
is recommended yet matte blk can be used. An instant dry coating 
technology is in place. With matte blk ink you will see some gloss 
differential but this can be eliminated with PremierArt PRINT Shield 
as a finishing process. No need to change ink sets yet Photo blk is 
preferred.
The product was developed and designed to emulate silver halide Brita 
photographic paper.
 
If you are looking for a microporus RC inkjet luster paper please 
choose our PremierImage Premium Luster 10.4mil paper.

Regards
Mark M. Perez

Sounds promising.  Will order some from Atlex and try it.

Paul
