Digital BW, The Print

I think the Costco paper is probably made by the Swiss Ilford group (old
Ciba, I believe).  However, the paper is new and unique.  One older batch of
Costco paper actually had an Epson logo on the back.  The paper also has the
buffered interior paper, which is rather unique to the Epson Premium group
of paper.  This all made me think Epson was involved.  I've also heard
Ilford makes some of the Epson paper.  So, the paper may be a product that
is made by Ilford and licenses some Epson technology.  

But it's all guessing.

The bottom line the paper is about the best glossy paper made.  I have no
doubt both Ilford and Epson will, in the future, have papers that also use
this technology.

Hi Paul, thanks again.

From what I found, searching the web; many people claimed that the 
Costco glossy paper is made by Ilford, Switzerland. And they said 
it's like Galerie Smooth Paper paper.

From Switzerland, (I think) there're two Co.; Ilford and Folex......
so what are your thoughts?
