Digital BW, The Print

Hi Julian,

If that's so, how come MediaStreets Hahnemuhle papers are much cheaper 
under the "Royal" labels
than when you buy them under the Hahnemuhle brand?

Even the most expensive papers shouldn't be much more than fifty cents a 
sheet for letter size paper. Why?
Because Silver paper isn't. It doesn't cost more to manufacture digital 
papers than silver papers. It may have
cost more many years ago when manufacturers were setting up to coat 
digital, but it shouldn't be more now.
In My Humble Opinion, of course!

Jer
