Oh, Paul, your commons sense solution breaks my heart! I can indeed
make very nice prints on matte paper (without the pizza wheel marks),
but the stunning crispness and shadow detail and d-max on these
semi-gloss "air-dried-look" papers is just too rich to pass up that
easily! 

I don't get the marks on Ilford Smooth Pearl, which is a luster-ish
paper that uses the PK inks, so I'm hoping there's some PK paper that
will give me what I'm looking for. The Smooth Pearl is one of those
swellable polymer papers, and that may make the difference. But it's
not very archival, so that does not suit the purposes of the
particular portfolio. 

I've bought a pack of the expensive Epson Exhibition paper. If it
exhibits the pizza wheel marks, then I will be expecting Epson's tech
support to help me solve this problem. If their paper and an R2400
can't co-exist, then they've sold me a crock.
