The new PA Fine Art Smooth (Hot Press) 325 seems to have a version of the
new coating.  One post here suggested the 270 does also and is easier to
load.

The 325 is a winner.  I can load it in the 220, 2200, and 2400 with a gentle
shove (and when the rollers are clean).  The C88 absolutely refused to take
it.  We're using it in the museum projects -- very nice stuff.
