this particular paper is not the galerie paper.

i'm never quite sure about papers with the pearl, luster, satin, and 
semi-whatever finish designation.  i'm guessing they all fall under 
glossy (with maybe the exception of semi-matte) but i'm not 100% sure 
whether to use gloss optimizer or not and whether to use PK or MK on 
the K3 inks.
