Innova Semi Matte vs. Epson Semi-Matte was Re: Damned good glossy prints

2007-11-19 by zonepeter

Bill,

I never tried the Epson semi matte, but I would recommend trying the 
Innova.  The other older Epson PK papers don't hold a candle to it in 
my opinion. ( I have tried semi gloss and premium luster)
It is less glossy than the Harman glossy, has a slight texture to it 
and is brighter white than the Harman.  It is also slightly less 
sharp.  It is my current favorit paper for PK (along with the Harman.
Someone in this thread has suggested the Moab Colorado Satine, but I 
have never used that.
