Jerry,

No, actually, I don't care for the Media Street Dual Side Matte. I believe
you when you say it prints very well but the dead flat whiteness doesn't
appeal to me. I have a sample but haven't printed on it yet. The heavier
Denali papers are white but with a warmer tone. Denali is also acid free and
probably slightly alkaline which is good in environments where paper tends
to become more acidic over time or so I've been told. The Media Street Dual
Side Matte is a slightly acidic paper based on my crude tests and this is
another strike against it. Glacier Photo Matte is more interesting in that
respect since it is described as acid free but the description (not to
mention the name) also sounds like a similar cold bright white. Right now
I'm sick of testing papers but will get a pack of Glacier to test based on
your recommendation after I recover a little. It might be something I or one
of my students will need sometime in the future.

What I really would like is a smoother version of Royal Plush that prints as
well using the Generations inks in the same or a little lighter weight. It's
not that I'm picky it's that...well, yes, I am picky :-)
