Jim, interesting observation! jp, yeah it's hard to scan but the rough texture makes it look much more impressionistic.
Randy, left is MGIV, right is ART300. The texture may be enhancing what you are seeing as contrast (well, and Warmtone emulsion has a bit more trouble with highlights than MGIV).

I think the effect sadly is lost under glass. But, I haven't put any prints under the highest-quality AR coated glass, which may be a little better. I should try that.
I have sold a number of prints made on ART 300 at festivals, and I always take them out of the poly bags to show the texture (and this usually makes the sale as this kind of surface is unusual and novel). My recommendation to the buyers is that they can mount them sans glass, but just make sure they aren't subjected to any poor treatment. Say, if someone is spraying Febreze or something around their house, don't accidentally spray the bare print, and dust it off regularly. In a couple weeks I'm going to a festival where I remember selling a print to a local last year who also shot film and understood the qualities of a SG print. Maybe he'll come and I'll ask him if he hung it up w/o glass.
For a while I had some SG prints w/ no glass around the house and they were fine.
I hang all of my carbon transfer prints without glass. Always have.
ANd they are beautiful!
I have 20 year old 35mm enlarged SG FB prints hung continuously without glass which have weathered inside well, never dusted.
I rode motorcycles inside the space. Briefly I admit, but it was the best way to get them in and out.
Smokers were welcome as i hated making them go outside in Chicago winter.

From two days ago, walking distance from home, but it is a steep uphill with the 8x10. All shot using Port-Land lenses 18" or 11.5".
I wish I had the 15" to complete that series...
11.5" at f/5.6
18" at 5.6
