yes it is true that I print exclusively on SATIN photo paper (Ilford and Sihl). Gloss is definitely better with InkTec. Bronzing was bad but even on glossy photo paper. Worse than the Image Specialists.
InkTec ink PowerChrome I tested a year ago. Here is a test for bronzing on photo paper Ilford Smoth Pearl. In this test, I was very disappointed. In the Czech Republic, InkTec at a good price - (1L: 1.270,- Kc - or so 63$) http://shop.inktec.cz/422-inkousty-1l/
