Digital BW, The Print

Just got my box of innova semi matte. I am the guy that expressed  
disappointment with the innova f type glossy because the gloss  
differential was just as pronounced as with any other paper. (others  
argued the point, but it was sitting right there)
Well, the innova semi matte is way better. The paper seems to tame  
the gloss of the inks. With the f type, the inks were like a glossy  
sticker that you were tempted to peel off the paper. with the semi  
matte, the inks are much less glossy, and match the gloss of the  
paper nicely. The surface is actually smoother that the f type  
glossy. The f-type has little parallel lines in the surface that  
affected the image under certain conditions. The semi matte has a  
smooth surface with no lines it. I am much more pleased with this  
paper. I dont think I will be spraying it either, which is very nice.
