Glad to hear that you liked it Julian. I'm using it with the Epson Premium
Glossy profile in the Piezo driver...I screened all the glossy profiles and
found that one to be the best. I'm not sure what inks you are using, but
the MIS FS-N's are simply stunning on this paper. I print my "archival"
portfolio on Xtreme Gamut Satine (its no longer available...but I have a big
stock) with Piezo inks and now my "gloss" portfolio on Semi-Matte with the
FS-N's.
I too, wish it was a little heavier...we'll see...I've given that feed back
to Brightcube. I've also suggested that what they really need to do is put
that surface...acid free...on a paper like Eclipse Satine. Then we would
have an acid free archival glossy...that would really be interesting...but I
have no idea whether they will be able to do it.
