Paul R has tested the paper somehow and determined that the kirkland is
buffered, Like the epson premium line. The ilford is NOT buffered, that
is why it is not archival. The kirlkalnd should be much more archival.
I like the fact that it works just like Ilford, because we can use
Ilford profiles! Everyone has known for a long time that the ilfors
smooth line had the best image quality. I do think that the ilford has
much more bronzing however, at least with ut2 inks. DM
