The worlds most expensive inkjet paper from DigitalArtSupplies?

2003-05-29 by Tim Atherton

$6.16 per sheet of Letter sized Arches Infinity - what a rip off...

Being interested in the new Arches paper, and a long time Arches user for
other purposes, I ordered a sample pack of Arches Infinity from
www.digitalartsupplies.com - $20.00 for a sample pack - not too bad, but I
recall a time when samples were free.

Then I get an email saying the total is $37.00 including $17.00 for shipping
six sheets of paper - even to Canada that's a rip-off. So I emailed back
saying either just send it letter mail or cancel the order. But a few days
later, the paper arrives and the Visa has been charged $37.00. Digital Art
Supplies has so far failed to respond to my queries about this (like why
they didn't cancel the order when requested).

In the meantime, figuring the order was probably cancelled, and feeling a
little annoyed, I emailed Inkjet Goodies and asked if they had samples -
sure we'll stick em in the mail - they're free. On top of which, the 100%
free samples (not even a charge for postage) arrive before the $6.16 a sheet
samples from DigitalArtSupplies.

So - guess who gets my vote for good service and my next order for paper and
ink... www.inkjetgoodies.com
