Re: Mule Pearl

2006-05-24 by Tyler Boley

To be picky and honest, I don't think any of them quite nailed it. For
surface quality only, I'm liking SR the best of the 3, so you may not
like the others much in that regard.
Incorporating a surface with a natural feel into these new coatings
must be troublesome. But the fact that these three papers are here is
a good sign for the future.
Color gamut with the pearl looks great.
