Sihl Papers-Anyone heard of them?

2006-01-23 by Steven Karafyllakis

I got an interesting call from the company that sold me my 7600 
offering me a sample of a premium-grade acid-free satin RC paper last 
week. The rep stated that Sihl was one of the few actual manufacturers 
of inkjet papers (most companies including Epson contract and re-brand 
papers) and they were now beginning to market their papers under their 
own name. The price for a 24"x100ft roll is a couple dolars less than 
the Epson semi-matte, putting it at about $0.50 /sq.ft. Of course I 
jumped at the chance to try it, and am expecting a 36"x15' roll 
sometime this coming week. I'll report back on it as soon as 
possibleand perhaps if it looks good initially some other list members 
who have densitometers might check it out so we can get some hard 
numbers?
