Digital BW, The Print

> ... Davinci Fibre Gloss and am very impressed. 

Am I correct that it appears the Davinci and Permajet versions of this are
the Innova coating?  Does Hahnemuhle have a version of this technology out
yet?

I do think the Crane SR and Permajet (Innova?) version of the technology
point to a future that is very promising for "glossy" papers that look more
like what we would have expected from a silver print.  

Do we know anything about what is behind the new technology.  One industry
person felt these were "barrier" papers but that the barrier may not be the
same polyethylene that was used in the older "RC" papers (and gave them a
rather plastic look).  My impression is that the barrier material might be
much thinner, allowing more of the paper texture to show through.
