Digital BW, The Print

Yeah, this was the story back in May when i got test sheets...at that  
point the release date for the rolls and sheets was August...so I'm  
betting that we don't see a final product before the 1st of the year.   
Oriental USA is convinced that there is no way to make money in the  
sheet market and that higher volume sales through rolls is the way to  
go.  Given what I've seen from the base of this paper It may work in  
rolls...but I'm somewhat skeptical because of its weight.
