Unlike other washi or kozo inkjet papers on the market, this one has a backing so it's very thick going into the printer. After about 20 mins, you can peel off the backing and it's just a beautiful print. If you hold it up to the light, you can see a lot of wood fibers. I haven't printed matt paper for a couple years, mainly because they are so fragile, but if I remember correctly, this should compare quite well with the best Rag paper, but with a kozo texture and translucency.
