Inkjetart sez the Eclipse papers are "permanently unavailable".
The Hahnemuhle Photo Rag looks good (VERY expensive, but hey,
you gotta pay to play).   In Paul Roark's article he talks only
about EEM and the Eclipse Satine.  I wonder which rod  (#30 or
#15) is recommended for the Photo Rag ?

I've just got a 2200, so I'm stuck with 13x19 for now.

Thanks again, John
