Igor,

It is hard to tell but would probably agree the Epson Luster has a very slight edge. The Innova has a "irregular" surface with the Hh Pearl smoother and the Epson Luster smooth with the Luster sparkle may give it more apparent sharpness.

It's amazing to me the differences in the bronzing effect on the PK ink among the various glossy/luster/ satin/pearl papers.

I now see why so many posts here regarding the amount of Gloss and or spray required to reduce the bronzing on the PK ink for glossy/luster papers on the R800 / R1800 printers and especially the Epson Luster. All were printed 2880, uni-directional, and adaptive-hybird on my R1800.
