Re: [Digital BW] Hahnemule William Turner

Nij,

William Turner and Wells River are the same. In fact, if you look at William
Turner 300 and William Turner 190, the surfaces are not the same either. I
think this is where people including our collegue Jerry are becoming
confused.

So, let's put this issue to rest. Wells River and William Turner are the
Same Paper. Orwell and German Etching are the same paper as well.

Mike
