[Digital BW] Re: Buying Archival Matte

Todd,

It was letter size but I bought a whole bunch a couple of months back 
so it might not be representative of what's currently available.

I actually wouldn't mind sometime on the back to make it easier to 
quickly indentify the printing side but obviously very discreet and 
tasteful would be nice, i.e. don't put the marketing department n 
charge.
