Dan, I've used 3 of the papers you've listed, Fine Art Pearl, Innova and the Oriental. Both the FAP and the Innova I've printed on extensively and have settled on the FAP because of the conversion problems Innova has (little bits of material on the surface that create small white spots when printed over). Although the FAP does exhibit it's own variation of surface anomely, a scuffed look that then needs to be sprayed. This occurs in large areas of black on the print. The Oriental product I had high hopes for, but it is quite glossy and also has a mottled, scuffed appearance that spraying doesn't fix. The Sunset product I've been told by the distributor is very similiar to the Innova paper (perhaps it's the same), if so, that surface texture is anything but a air-dried F surface look. The FAP with the Canon 9000 produces rich prints with great D-max, I probably need to tweak the profile because some deep shadows are blocking up. I would imagine that the pigmented inks would show little gloss differential because of the satin finish. I'm still looking for that air-dired F surface fiber based paper, hopefully someone will make one soon. Jim Haefner
