Paul,


If you can lay your hands on a roll of Canon Dream Labo Metallic Silky 
RC 198gsm you would have a nice dye compatible metallic paper that 
differs from the Moab Slickrock and Red River PP Metallic, the last two 
are one and the same in my opinion. The Canon Dream Labo is intended for 
the $ 600K Dream Labo minilab 7 dye printer and has a more silver paint 
like surface. I have already measured some other papers for that minilab 
model too. The minilab papers and new papers for high speed web (Felix 
Schoeller Jet Speed-Jet Line and more) could become a new dye ink 
compatible range of media, often dual sided. Have to measure the Felix 
Schoeller Jet Speed ones this week. I was impressed by the image quality 
on relative thin papers but I guess they were not printed on a high 
speed web inkjet press.
It could be that there are metallic papers for the Epson-Fuji-Noritsu 
minilab models too, I did not check that.
