Digital BW, The Print

I have used UltraSmooth from a roll for a couple of years.  While the dmax
is less than the best acid free papers, I generally like it, and it does
very well in fade tests.  My conclusions are that it is basically the same
as PremierArt Fine Art Hot Press.  See the specs at
http://www.premierimagingproducts.com/pdf/media/Premier_Art_Hot_Press.pdf
and compare them to the new Epson sheets.

I've played around with the roll version using my 2200 (cut by hand, and 
flattened).  If the info that Epson provides on their web site is 
accurate, the sheet versions are significantly heavier and thicker than 
the roll version.

They list the roll as 250 gsm but show two versions of sheet, at 325 and 
500 gsm, with thicknesses of 21 and 30 mil.
