Digital BW, The Print

Has anyone tried the Moab Kokopelli satin paper.  I love their Entrada line but now I am 
searching for something with more sheen to it.

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.

Terry.

I'm wondering how it handles the ut2 inks.  anyone know if this paper is archival?  I just 
want a paper that has some sheen to it like ilford multigrade fiberbase pearl paper.  It's 
got to last too...that is very important to me.
