I tested some Pictorico materials also, more than a year ago.  Aside from
subjective opinions, I felt the super-glossy (film-based as opposed to
paper-based?) substrate showed every inkjet imperfection and digital
artifact.  Microbanding and other problems were too much on the older
printer I was using at the time.  However, the newest printers may be so
good that they can handle it.

I can see where some would love the super-gloss, super-sharp look.  I would
for some applications if I could get the technical quality it demands.  (In
fact, I'm going to see if I still have some and give the 2200 & 220 with
UT-3D a test with it.)
