In my humble opinion, here's my take on the paper at this stage. It proves that you can 
achieve the same "Depth" with an inkjet print as you can with a traditional air dried fiber 
glossy print. This is coming from an ABSOLUTE STICKLER when it comes to that sort of thing. 
You feel the image is "in" and not "on" the paper just like a traditional fiber print. There's a 
wonderful glow and 3-D quality to it. I get excited thinking of what the near future is certain 
to bring. I believe we'll see papers that will not only match the quality of a traditional print 
but exceed it! However, at this stage, it's aaalllmmmosssttt there. This original paper has a 
sort of cream base but I'm sure it will eventually be delivered in a variety of flavors. I want to 
qualify the fact that I have no profiles for the paper. That said, I chose the premium luster 
paper type with the epson driver on the 4800 and got some purplish/mageta kind of cast 
when viewed in daylight at an angle. The IP profiles might very well eliminate that. Also, the 
paper has a sort of luster sparkle when viewed at an angle. However when adjusted slightly 
back to straight on you can see a nice texture to the paper. I wish the luster sparkle wasn't 
there. Being that I only made a few prints, I can't go into more detail than that. I will say that 
viewing straight on the paper is a "Dream Come True. So, in closing, it's proof the future of 
digital printing is a bright one indeed.
