You might want to look at the Japanese mulberry papers that Legion/Moab supplies:  http://moabpaper.com/moenkopi-washi/  The Bizan has 4 deckle edges, and a sheet of A4 sells for $12-15!!!  I'm waiting to try my first sheet at this very moment.  A very useful piece in your production would be to make printer profiles available for download.

How is the dmax on these kind of papers?

Much better places to buy these kinds of papers in rolls are:

http://www.phoenixartsupply.com/


http://store.hiromipaper.com/

 They are easy to cut down and if you need a torn edge, tear it...

I have been using Bizan paper for several years. In fact a did a 
residency where the paper is made, Awagami Factory in Tokushima Japan 
in 2006. It was a great experience as they let me use as much paper 
as I wanted. They have since changed their policy and make you pay 
for the materials.
You can see their web site at:

The paper is very beautiful with 4 deckle edges, all hand made and 
quite pricey...
Great people there...

My son lives in Japan.  I graduated from Sophia, Univ., Tokyo.  Thanks for the information.  I would like to visit the mill. Did you coat the Bizan paper?  If so, what product?  Odaiji ni.

Keith

So you that have tried the new Moab Kozo, are you seeing a significant improvement in resolution and dmax as their offering is the only one I know of that has an applied inkjet receptor coating? If that's the case I'll certainly try it.

Keith,
I didn't do the coating but they did. It is silica based, they told 
me. They were pretty closed mouthed about that part but I know they 
would welcome you at the mill. I also studied Japanese at Sophia. If 
you get ready to go, let me know and I can introduce you to the right 
folks there.
I have some prints in their collection...had a very nice show in their museum.
Yoroshiku,
Paul

John,
That paper of of Moab's is the stuff made in Japan by Awagami. I love 
it. Here is a picture of me holding the first print I made with the 
paper that I felt was successful...great moment...

I would really recommend giving this stuff a try. It is thick but 
with the platten gap at its widest, I had no trouble with a 7880...
If you want to get it from Japan, I can connect you with the right 
person...I have no financial connection with them, by the way, only 
personal.
