Digital BW, The Print

Tyler,

You are right, this stuff pre-dates the current silver rag  "darling"  
but is actually very similar with a smoother surface (and yes, they  
both have the feel of cardboard from a new dress shirt package).  I  
tried (desparately) to make this work with the UC K2 inks when it  
first came out but finally gave up because of the bronzing and GD  
(not that bad and yeah, you can spray but that kills the look with  
this paper).  I think my QTR profile (2200, UC) is still included  
with the QTR download.  I haven't revisited Oriental with the K3  
inks, but seeing how people are getting crazy about the silver rag  
look this might also do it for them. with K3.
