I must say, I do not like working with matte fine art paper that is in rolls. For large panoramas there is no choice, but for 22 x 28 inch images, it's a hassle at best. Sheet paper is much easier. However, I find very little out there that is 24 by 30 (or 36) inches.

I'm going to go back to using my old standard PremierArt 325, which I can still get in large sizes (see http://www.ultrafineonline.com/pr325gmshw2s8.html ), but if there are other smooth, non-OBA inkjet papers out there, I'd sure like to know.

I'll be experimenting with German Etching today. And, of course, Arches is there, but it's only 22 inches wide, the dmax is less, and the print will not have the smoothness of a good hot press type inkjet paper.

I do have a D-roller, but I am not that impressed with the job it does. I've also tried any number of other ways to "relax" the roll paper after printing. All seem to have their drawbacks.

What I'd really like is 24" x 30" (or 36") Epson Hot Press Natural, but it does not appear to be made.

All suggestions will be appreciated.
