Marshall's inkjet paper for hand coloring with oils, anyone used it?

Marshall's inkjet paper for hand coloring with oils, anyone used it?

2004-11-20 by Bob Michaels

I tried hand coloring with oils on several different ink jet papers.
Even tried spraying them in advance. They all absorbed the tinting oil
so that you could not clean up an area like you can with a traditional
matte photo paper. 

I'd really like to hand color some more b&w prints but my wet darkroom
skills are just to rusty to try to resurect them. So I need to find
some way to color digital paper. 

Marshall, who makes the oils and pencils, also makes a special inkjet
paper. Has anyone used it? Does it truly have some special coating
that nothing else does? Or is it just a rebranded canvas paper with
the same inability to clean up an area like all the other papers?
