1.59..however there was some slick mottling in the black.

I was just over at Brightcube saying my goodbyes the other day...they were
scheduled to declare bankruptcy that afternoon...haven't heard whether there
was a last minute buy out or not.  There is a fair bit of inventory...so
that may show up on the market eventually...will probably take months
though.  There is a commitment from the chief paper person to try to open
under another name again...if he is legally able...I'm in touch with him and
will keep people posted.  In the mean time...the back of my SUV is full of
Eclipse.

Not yet...but within a couple of days...I just gave some to Antonis to check
on his 2200. Photo Matte looks like a potential solution...but it is really
over brightened...but that may fade off so fast that it won't be a big
issue...we'll be "aging" our paper before printing to get it to its final
color.

I really think that Somerset Enhanced may be the answer...but we'll see
about that too, shortly.  The Epson Somerset Velvet looks like it will be
over brightened as well from the specs that I've seen.
