Nice look and a nice weight/feel to it. There seems to be a "presumption" (no formal testing) that the recent batches are quite archival. In any case I spray the prints with PrintShield, which should help. I have yet to try it, but color prints can allegedly be produced using the Epson Premium Glossy profiles. I bought the paper from MIS, but need to join Costco. 150 sheets of this paper at this price is just too good to be true. I wish either Costco or MIS would contract with the (reportedly Swiss) manufacturer to produce some Super B 13x19 sheets of the stuff.
