Digital BW, The Print

I've tested this paper (and other similar Innovas) with the R220 and 
MIS EZ-Warm/neutral hybrid set.  I got similar results to Silver Rag 
and similar papers although I prefer the Innova paper texture.

It sounds silly, but are you sure you're printing on the right side 
of the paper?
There really shouldn't be much of any gloss differential on 
the "glossy" side.

I use the same settings (including ICC) as for Ultra Premium Glossy 
Photo Paper and it works fine.
