By "Pearl" do you mean any PK paper?  So, for example, Ilford Gold Fiber 
Silk is "pearl"?

No, The Ilford Gold Fibre Silk, is not a pearl surface! It has a
baryta coated paper that is supposed to be reminiscent of the old
air-dried fiber papers. Actually the printed image from an HP Z3100
looks quite beautiful (using gloss equalizer) with a very good d-Max
in 2.5 range.

I interpreted the poll as "Do you use a matte paper - a paper that 
would use a Matte Black ink on an Epson K3 printer - or one that uses a 
Photo Black ink."

If you don't mean to include all of the Photo Black-type papers, I am 
not sure you are going to get meaningful results. Especially without a 
category that says "None of the above."

Is Semi-Matte "Pearl". Luster? Semi-Gloss? Glossy?

You may want to re-define the question as "matte black" or "photo 
black" only. Or provide very detailed instructions on how to answer.

Best,
Michael

I interpreted the poll in the same way that Michael did.

Any chance we can expand the poll?  There is a difference between 
"pearl" and the satin papers (e.g., Red River Polar Satin and others).

Is Harman Gloss included with Pearl?
Thanks,
