Hi Henry,

Thanks for letting me know about that. I'm full of questions:
- are you a dealer?
- if not, who is your supplier?
- what sizes does it come in?
- is it flexible enough to tolerate the very curved printing path
of an HP2550L Color Laserjet or a Brother 1670N mono laser?
- what are the retail prices?
- is it available in small retail quantities, or only bulk?

Cheers
David
