Neither really - the closest is to air dried FB silver-gelatin paper - 
but it's not quite that either. But it's closer to that than the other 
two you mention. Like one of the FB papers with a slight texture. Not 
glossy, not quite semi-glossy. 

Pretty close to the old lamented Epson Professional Glossy in texture 
and base colour - a bit more texture though - maybe about the same 
warmth (but thta's from memory - why they eer dropped that paper is a 
mystery)

The base colour someone mentioned - slightly creamy - is close to some 
of the slightly warm FB papers as well (not quite as warm as say Forte 
Polywarmtone FB). More creamy warm than the "warm" warm of the some of 
the rag papers - if you see what I mean...
