The significant reduction in the bronzing, along with proper RC paper
selection -- like Epson Pro Glossy, Semi-gloss, or semi-matte -- may be
enough that I'd be willing to switch over.  I'm not convinced Premium Luster
is the best paper.

I really like the semi matte. It's still RC, but the lowest luster. It's Bill 
Atkinson's favorite paper, but for color. It would be interesting to get the 
UT's on that stuff. I actually like the B&W I get on the 7600 with 
Ultrachromes and the Atkinson profiles. Very neutral, good Dmax, and for my 
Weeding/portrait work, they print side by side.

Fine work is all "carbon on cotton" so far.

Oriental is supposed to come out with a paper equal to air dried glossy fiber 
silver paper........probably vaporware still.

If you mean the Oriental Graphica FB Glossy, it is available now but it 
doesn't look like air dried fiber silver paper - more like ferrotyped 
silver, with a high gloss.
