There are several known causes of flaking that are variables within their control. Frankly, from my perspective, aside from it being able to match or beat the HPR dmax, Alise is not that different from others, including their 325 gsm Fine Art (no OBAs) that I'm very fond of. The PA325 has a dmax of 1.70 v. 1.75 for AliseN on my 7800 with Eboni and QTR. With a 50-50 profile of Eboni and HP-PK, the PA325 actually has a lower delta-B. The AliseN paper base is a bit whiter, but we're only talking about a difference of about a Lab B difference of about 0.25 on average. The PA325 is about 20% more expensive, but for what it's worth, you get a paper that is a bit thicker than the 16 mil Alise (which I get head strikes on in the 7800), and the PA325 is coated on both sides. So, it may be that the Premier Art Fine Art Smooth 325 stays at or near the top of my list. Paul www.PaulRoark.com
