Sure - first of all it isn't 'mine' but a colleague who is using Posterprint on a 7600 - so I've not been able to pull it apart. First of all there is an easy linearisation step to make sure the inks are being laid down correctly - you can play with the K laydown individually, and then use ICC profiles which you can make yourself (unlike IP5). What I see on Premier semimatte are more shadow detail, smoother midtones, and a smoother dither in the hilights (under a loupe) all in all a more 'sophisticated' image. You can see more details here http://www.ergosoft.ch/home_en.htm
