Gee, I really don't know. I am sure that most of the older photographic and
photographic quality inkjet papers also used some sort of coating; but the
newer papers may be using newer formulations. Such formulations probably
vary from paper type to paper type as well as from paper producer to paper
producer.

Yes it would seem so; but I would speculate that the air molecules that use
that path are just enough to help the drying of the ink while not being
great enough to permit massive amounts of pollutants to enter the paper with
the air. It probably works or is intended to work like a dust filter does.

I agree; but I am not sure that that can be said for all brands of paper -
let alone all types of papers. Of course, the water resistant nature of the
inks used also will play a part in determining how water resistant an inkjet
product will be.
