Tyler, Harman's PR makes fabulous claims...they're risking credibility if they ignore critical comments from skilled users. It seems appropriate for this site to evaluate the materials that we use... It might occur to Harman the only people who care about "air dried glossy" are remembering papers better than any inkjet in certain ways, including virtually everything on a fiber base, including Agfa Brovira, Kodabromide, and Oriental. People without that darkroom experience may not give a damn about it. As you are an enthusiast for this paper, please repeat your workflow so we can see what IS working. It sounds like Harman should release an information sheet. I wouldn't bother with Harman or any other high-priced paper unless I knew that others were successful with my personal setup (2200/MIS and 2200/Epson). Harman and others will shortly introduce better papers, but it's interesting to see them trying baryta for the small market willing to pay 2X fine silver paper for inkjet with the shortcomings even you have mentioned.
