RE: [Digital BW] Whatever happened to UltraSmooth?

I'm seeing 1.64 with UltraSmooth, the 1160, and MIS UT/Eboni K.  EEM comes
in at 1.65.

The UltraSmooth non-brightened coating is a smooth, creamy tone that matches
my Light Impressions Exeter Gallery White mount board very nicely.  (I never
liked EEM white borders with the Exeter board -- too cold/blue.)  So, I'll
now be able to mount with a 1/4 inch borders for signing.  I'm very pleased
with the tone.

I have not yet used the roll, and I'm assuming the 11x14 beta is the same
stuff.  I'll find out soon.
