Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Canadian "picture paper" at Staples?

2004-10-27 by millerdl

I believe the Canadian equivalent of the paper Tom's site identified has 
the SKU of  #33133-CA.  The bar code is the same as the US version:  7 
18103 02238 5.  It's the "Picture Paper" rather than the premium photo 
paper. I've had excellent results with it and it's cheaper than the 
premium if I remember correctly.
