Hello @all
I use Brillant Satin Matte Natural paper on various printers like Epson
x900 and Canon 6700d. The results are very good, all profiles are build using
the argyll standard procedure (targen, printcal, colprof).
With Epson printers I had no problems at all (I build profiles for PC and Mac).
My Canon printer had some problems on the Mac. It was not possible to generate
a good printer calibration with the vendors driver. I solved the problem using
Guttenprint.
If you need further hints contact me.
Cheers
Vladimir
PS. I also used Brillant Silver White Paper. Also a very good choice, less
problematic for profiling.

Here is the Brilliant paper site:
http://brilliantpaper.com/
You can find ICC profiles there. There are some remarks on the net that say
that some of the profiles may not be very good.
By the way, as I need to test media at the moment, I will make a profile for
any printer for any person who sends me a box of the media with the target in -
not exactly a free profile but pretty close :)

Sorry for the typo in the subject line.
