Digital BW, The Print

Alan,
Yes, prints coated that way have the quality of the double weight FB (if 
you use a thick stock,
above 240 gms). And as far as I can tell you handle them the same way 
(however if you want
to sign them on the front below the image you have to do it before 
coating).  Even sizes are more
like standard photo paper sizes since you have to cut more or less 1/8" 
on all sizes after coating.
(in case of 8x10 an least)
You asked for a scan of the rod.  At the address below you will find a 
picture, which I have just
taken with the digital camera of one of the ends of the rod.

Hope it helps.
