My only paper is ESFA in sheet weight. But I print with the MIS 
lightfast dyes, using a custom profile. I have seen this mottling 
before to some degree. I generally always wait a couple of hours 
now before really passing judgement on a print. At 1440, you can 
really feel the moisture of the ink on the surface of the paper 
when it pops out of the printer.

My MediaType setting with this paper on my 7000 is "Photo 
Paper" @ 1440 with HiSpeed off.

Also, if anyone orders a custom ICC profile, I'd also suggest 
printing out the chips, then letting them dry overnight before 
sending them out for a reading. I didn't do that initially, but now 
after some experience, I wish I had.
