Re: Paper database

Hi Todd,

glad you found your way to the juicy stuff in the db! Nothing like seing it in 
Filemaker. Now you know why I have been berating the name-changing 
game that Hahnemuhle imposed in this market.

Some notes:

- Piezo Grade is my own, biased opinion, based mostly on dMax, but also on 
overall look.
- Cost factor is nothing that "heavy": It takes into account the gsm of the paper 
and the cheapest price for the letter sheet. Only as a quick way to sort papers 
of same weight, or even same paper, different prices.
- Most prices are now a few months old.


Enjoy!
