I've been doing some tests on the same paper as well as Crane Silver
Rag and Innova F Gloss.  All results are good. The Hana and the Innova
are in my eye  very very much the same.  The Crane is a warmer paper
base so you get warmer tones. 

As for roller marks when I was testing the same 3 papers with UT7 on
the 2200 I found something interesting.  The Crane was the worst for
roller/PW (pizza wheel) marks, the Hana would get them on prints with
lots of black and the Innova never got marks at all.

However if I printed color the Innova had green shadows when wet and
dry, teh other 2 were less green when wet and dryed down neutral. 
This was only in higher ISO shots with a middle tone shadow, not a
deep shadow.

So far I am really pleased with the QTR UC combo.  Simple, no clog
variable tone system with 3 sources for carts within 2 miles of my house.
