Well I have three different brands of paper from paper in front of me (those
listed above) and they are so similar it isn't funny.  So similar I simply
do not believe they have anything proprietary at all.  For all practical
purposes they are interchangeable although I would say the Innova Smooth
Cotton Natural White is ever so slightly whiter than the Eterna and Permajet
natural whites.  Each have the same texture and alumina/silica sparkle in
their coating.

Perhaps someone like John Edmunds, if he is listening in, could comment on
why one would put these minerals in a coating at all?
