I've also started using Photographique--a beautiful paper, but I'm not 
seeing the similarity to HPR. To my eye Photographique is much whiter 
(no OBAs) and a bit softer . . . I'm using the K7 SE too. Guess I'll 
look into purchasing a custom curve.

Yes, their other papers are also quite nice but very expensive.
