I use Kokopelli Satin as my non-matte paper (only ocassional use). I like
it. The surface is a relatively smooth satin and has a very nice appearance
(depends on taste of course). It's lighter in weight than Epson Lustre or
Ilford's Smooth Pearl however, but does not curl.

The only problem I've run into is with a pale pastel sunrise (yellows and
oranges) image. Quite strange actually. The image appears almost "washed
out" compared a print on one of my matte papers (e.g. Entrada Natural or
Velvet Fine Art). I've printed using a custom profile and with the Moab
profile. Same issue with both. I've assumed that this is an RC paper versus
matte paper limitation.
