Digital BW, The Print

Yep, this is the link...but unfortunately no info.  I've spoken with
Oriental's US paper rep.  The Fiber-Based paper has the same base as
Oriental's silver fiber-based papers.  I'm not clear on what the surface
will be make out of...but I have been told it will look identical to their
glossy fiber-based silver papers.  It is being designed for pigment
inks...so presumably it will be acid free (acids are only typically added
for dye stability).  I'll certainly keep the list informed as I get more
information.

PS on the "archival front"...several of Epson's glossy papers are rated
similarly in longevity to the best of the matte papers...for what its worth.
