If you think $38.00 is a lot of money for 500ml of coating then you better
stick with the papers that are available presently. It is going to cost you
far more then $38 to coat a properly working sheet.

I have found that most times it is not the sheet or the inks that are the
problem, but the operator. You have to take the time to test and create
profiles so the combination of the printer/ink/paper work in combination
with each other. There just are no shortcuts in this industry.

The paper manufacturers have spent 100's of thousands of dollars getting
these sheets to the market. If it were easy everyone would be making their
own paper and coatings.
