	That is an interesting observation.  Maybe the inkjet RC papers
would thus be better than the crappy multi-layer darkroom RC papers, which
always seemed to have a haze.  I have done a lot of pt/pd printing, and
always thought one of the advantages was that with pt/pd the image was "in"
the paper instead of "on" the paper.  However, that may have been "in" the
emulsion, e.g., double coating pure palladium seemed better than single
coating.  I do know that differences between real pt/pd prints and inkjet
prints on decent matt papers tend to blur, once behind glass.
