And just when you thought Epson had the corner on confusing names, Premier Imaging has replaced Matte b&w with Deluxe Presentation Matte.  Both are a brightened paper.  Smooth Fine Art is a non-brightened paper that used to be known as Premier Art Hot Press.  Or at least that's what's stuck in my head at the moment, could change at any time:)

Paul, if you are using the non-brightened Alise I would be interested in the perceived dmax between  the Alise and the Smooth Fine Art (Hot Press).  The Hot Press has been my favorite non-brightened paper for some time but it sound like it would be easy enough to switch with only a minor tweak or two to the profile.
