RC prints really used to have a veiled look but I did think they had cut through most of that that by now. I don't detect veiling any more but i do trust your densitometer. Its the surface which bugs me. The only thing worse than an RC hyper gloss surface is an RC Pearl. Dried down gloss on fiber paper is so nice and for the reasons you mention. Mark rabiner
