Fuji Professional DPII Maxima Paper from DS Colour

[viewfromthenorth]

Anyone used this paper before from DS Colour (or another lab)?

There's no information anywhere as to its finish, so I rang DS Colour and the guy went into the lab for a look and he said it's not a flat matt, but has a slight shine to it. Sounds to me like maybe it's more of a semi-gloss or lustre, but was wondering if anyone had used it and what their thoughts were?

Not looking for a debate on the merits of DS Colour or other labs, just a question on the paper, thanks!

Better stick with inkjet papers. All of these laser papers have terrible gamut and water resistance.

I print my own at A3, but wanted some A2 prints and although inkjet was an option it was twice the cost. I’ve now got some done on this Fuji paper and am very impressed with the results, not much different to what I get off my inkjet although I’m printing high contrast black and white - colour may be a different matter.
