Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Adhesive stickers on Arches Hot Press

>>> Have you called Dick Blick to see if they still have "stickerless" Arches
HP? In the past they have been OK from that source.

Actually, I have done better than that.
Today I spoke directly with Cansons.
Here is the real storyŠ

ColArt/Cansons will package paper the way resellers want it. Its resellers
who have insisted on the stickers. Exactly the opposite of what Jerrys told
me.

To buy 25 sheet packages without stickers, you want to request Cansons stock
number 523-14. (That's 140lb Hot Press.)

It turns out this is a case of retailers making their own lives easier while
not giving a damn about the buyer. Cansons is blameless and were VERY
pleasant to deal with; the exact opposite of Jerrys.

I also called danielsmith.com today. Talked to a fellow named Colin. He too
was the exact opposite of Jerrys. Very pleasant to deal with and most eager
to be helpful. They have the stickerless paper, though apparently use their
own stock number: 159-281-003. They sell the paper with stickers too, so be
sure to be specific.
