I, too, was excited to try the Cold Press Textured, but found it a bit too
rough and regular in the surface. I prefer the Innova soft texture Art
paper for something with a bit of a texture.
I like the Innova Photo Smooth Cotton too, but must confess, when comparing
it to HPR photorag, I like the coloration of the HPR better, so I guess at
this time, I'm sticking with the HPR.
The Innova does have great Punch and Contrast like HPR, it's just that the
same image printed on both papers side by side, I like the HPR better.
