I would also be careful of this paper curling at the final corners with heavy ink loads.  The 
curling happens when the paper leaves the final rollers and you'll get head strikes on the 
final 1/4 inch or so of the print.  That said I still like the paper and use it for 5X7s out of the 
8.5x11 size where the printing is finished before the corners release.

If there is a luster or semi gloss profile you could try that and then re-linearize if you have a 
spectro or scanner.

I also wonder about the future of that paper.  I'm not really sure of the current relationship 
with Harman and Ilford.  But Harman seems to have eliminated the curling problem in their 
papers and I wonder whether Ilford will continue to produce under their label.
