Canson Infinity Rag Photographique, Moab Somerset MR, Hahnemuhle PhotoRag US, Breathing Color Optica One, Epson Hot Press, etc... they all have brought something of this type out recently.

Aside: Do more experienced hands know if any of these papers have good abrasion resistance?

Epson UltraSmooth Hot Press BW is near unusable as it scratches with even the slightest brush.

Epsons Hot Press Bright and Natural both print with outstanding results.
My only issue with both of these is you cannot even think of touching them without leaving a mark of some kind. Especially in the blacks.

apparently its due to the lack of micro encapsulation in the Matte Black inks. 
PK ones have it, MK ones don't.
Canon's latest inks are supposed to be a lot more durable in this respect, I'd be interested to see if there's any difference with MK on these papers.
