Neil, I've heard the K2 inks don't perform too well. I know k3 give better dmax and less metamarism. I haven't seen with my own eyes what k2 inks look like on SR but read elsewhere they don't work as well.

Neil I run K2 inks on a 4000. I was not impressed with the my tests of the early beta samples of SR. I have not tested the much evolved production paper.
Thanks,

If you like a high gloss look, Pictorico Pro Photo Gallery Hi-Gloss White Film is worth a try. Impressive dmax, depth and resolution.
Hahnemuhle will be offering their second attempt (first was Photo Rag Satin) at emulating the look of an air dried FB paper. This one will be FineArt Pearl. PremierArt also has Premier Luster Rag (terrible surface). Lexjet is also now selling a silver rag look-alike.
I have two rolls of the Silver Rag on order but Tim just sent me a sample and it looks terrific. Amazingly close to unglazed FB glossy, and super blacks. The surface is bulletproof and the weight/stiffness is very satisfying. It looks like it will be sharper than Photo Rag, which is my current paper.
