I've had IR images printed on this paper and they've turned out quite nice
(won ribbons in competitions).  They were done by Jonathan Penney's B&W
Darkroom at http://www.jonathanpenney.com.  He has a discussion board at
http://www.key2success.net/bwdarkroom/wwwboard/index.htm, so why don't you
post a question there about printing Kodak IR negs on Luminos papers and
see what advice you get?

I use Marshall's Oils and Pencils, and aim for a pastel look.  You can see
some examples at:
