Yes, and possibly compared to dye ink on matte paper.  However, when I
switched to
Generations on matte from Archiva, I was braced to be disappointed.  I
expected
to have a result that I was going to have to adjust to, to accept.  And I
was very very
pleasantly surprised!  I got prints that impressed me immediately, and
haven't really
missed the dye inks at all.  If you're stuck on glossy paper, though,
it's a different story.
And a good profile is essential.
