Re: [Digital BW] "silver" prints from digital systems?

To the group.

I have just received my first pack of the Legion Photo Matte Paper from Digital Arts., and also 3 from media street.

This paper is NOT as thick as the samples they sent out in their sampler (legion paper co.). The actual boxes of paper are about the same thickness as Epson's Archival Matte.

This is very disappointing, in fact it might be illegal labeling. I can easily pick out the heavier sampler paper with my eyes closed. The difference is not huge, but it is obvious. On the label on back of the sampler it says 230 gsms.

On the boxes of legion paper, it also says 230 gsms. but it isn't quite as thick as the sampler.

If anyone else got the sampler pack first, and then the actual paper, can you confirm, please?
