PermaJet Oyster 271 might be another RC option to try.  The surface 
looks like a semi matte finish.  Dmax with UC Photo black is about 2.1. 
  I tried it with just Eboni BO printing and it look very nice - dead 
neutral and no bronzing (but a slight gloss differential between 100% K 
and the 3/4 tones).  However, dmax of the Eboni is only about 1.5 on 
this paper without any spray coating and it does rub off quite easily.  
Bronzing is as bad as all of the other RC papers with either the full 
UC or UT inkset and the Photo K, but I haven't tried the new spray 
treatment.
