I agree about the weight of Photo Rag. Probably in small sheets, 13x19 etc, it's 
fine, but for 24x30 or 35x47 or anything like this, it's just too wimpy. You might 
try BrightCube Eclipse Satine BrightWhite; it has all the blacks of PhotoRag, is 
cheaper, and even though it's rated at 300gsm, the actual caliper width is far 
heavier than PhotoRag. Only bad thing potentially about Brightcube is a rumor 
that their business is not in the best of shape; who knows if they'll be here for 
long time?
