My bet is that Sihl does the coating. A Sihl man told me the base could 
be Scandinavian and I think he planned confusion.

What I know is that the single side coated Papergraphics Smooth Fine Art 
320 gsm and the Sihl 4852 Masterclass Smooth Matt Cotton 320 gsm are 
clones and identical to the Epson Hot press Natural 330gsm, the last is 
dual side coated on the sheets though Epson says one side is better than 
the other. Papergraphics has a 240 gsm version of the Smooth Fine Art too.
