Digital BW, The Print

Hello Charles and Jim,

Sorry for my late reply, I've been out of town for a week.

I was wondering who's making it, but I have no idea.  My impression is that, because of it's dmax, it's something new rather than just a repackaging of something else.  Seems to me that if some existing natural paper had that dmax we'd surely have heard of it.

first box of this paper arrived yesterday, and early testing confirms for me the excellent qualities you detected. However, the review on your web site identifies it as a one-sided paper, yet I have seen it advertised for sale from at least one internet seller as two-sided. More to the point, however, is the fact that I dropped a sheet on the floor before printing(!) and when I picked it up I was unable to detect one side from the other! Is it REALLY one-sided, and
if so, how can I detect the printable side? Many thanks and regards, Jim (I'm a fan of your web site, as well as of Paul's.)

I didn't think to test for 2-sided, as it isn't mention in the advertising (that I saw) and I recall that something in the box said "printing side up".  But that would be a nice plus if it is.  I've found 2-sided papers to have an economic benefit because of reusing test prints.  It may be just an anti curl coating, but I'll do some tests to see if there's a difference in results and will update the review.  Thanks for the tip.

Regards,
Clayton
