Matt, A little off topic ...
Do you use a profiled print workflow? Considering the Red River paper: Have you found good profiles to use with it? A friend gave me a few sheets of Red River paper. I like the surface but have not yet found profiles that worked well with it. The prints I've made that came out best so far were B&W renderings using the Advanced B&W settings in the R2400 driver. If I could find some good profiles for it, I would buy a box of it and experiment more.
