Hi Steve:
Here's the link:
http://www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/cat=1&prod=20.htm

After receiving a mini sampler of their new papers, I requested some 
full sized sample sheets of the new satin. I have only printed a 
couple of my test charts and a few test images but the early results 
are encouraging. My standard luster is Ilford Smooth Pearl which 
prints beautifully but is not listed as an acid-free base, and is 
quite bright white. My office is littered with paper sample boxes 
from various paper companies trying to find one that prints as nice 
as ISP but warmer,acid free AND reasonably priced. So far the RRUPS 
2.0 has been the best of the lot. About 2 shades warmer. RR states 
specifically that this paper has less OBA's. Most papers are either 
cooler or had Gloss DIff problems with K3 inks.  ISP has a 
unique "stipple" to its surface that hard to match. This paper 
doesn't match it exactly (more satin-like), but the ink lay down is 
quite attractive with minimal GD. I did not measure but Dmax seemed 
comparable to ISP. Anyhoo give them a shout and get some samples and 
let us know what you think. I'm going to order myself a 50sheet box 
($18.50) to test with further. 
Cheers,
Lou
