Thanks for that. atlex.com says "it's not cost effective to export
orders of less than $1000" - yikes!! 

mediastreet got back to me and say that they will ship internationally, 
so if I can find it there I'll be OK. Choices there seem to be
-  Aspen DS matte 44lb 8mil (lots of OBAs though) ($1.03/13x19)
-  Photo-Realistic Dual-Sided Semi-Gloss (6.5 mil.) ($0.86/13x19)
     says this needs spraying so must be pretty bad for fading
-  Renaissance Duo 195 gsm ($4.65/13x19)
-  Generations Photo Matte 230 gsm, 10.5 mil

The only Epson DS matte I've found on the web only comes 
in A4/8.5x11 size, not 13x19/A3.

Sigh - it shouldn't be this hard...

Thanks
Robert
