Re: innova f-type glossy

2007-01-26 by Tyler Boley

this doesn't even sound like the same paper. The Innova F-type gloss I've used no doubt 
also glowingly reported on here. It's certainly not warm, much less gloss differential them 
Premium Luster, and bears no resemblence to my memory of cheap Epson gloss or any 
other papers for that matter...
Aside from appearances it definitely does not feel cheap, but thick and substantial.
All this stuff is subjective and we will not all like the same materials, sorry you didn't like 
it.
But it almost sounds like the wrong paper...
