I am still testing a box of the HPRSatin. It's an odd paper, but it does give some good performance. The dmax is no better than what I get with other Hahnemuhle papers, but the ink dots seem to be less visible than some of the other papers. The change in gloss from no ink to heavy ink is a bit of a problem. I think the "new" super gloss inks will actually be a detriment for this paper. But if you use matte black and print black only, this paper should be a very nice paper, with an even soft gloss across the entire image. Or if you spray GLOP on the unprinted areas, then you will also have a nice even semi gloss print. So as I said, I still have mixed feelings about the HPRSatin paper.
