You may want to try www.inkjetgoodies.com, here in the US. I don't 
know if they ship overseas, but e-mail them and ask. There is a new 
line of papers out that are replacing the Eclipse papers, which had 
dual sided matte papers that were quite good with MIS inks. I have 
been using the Ultratones for about 2 months now on the remaining 
stock of Eclipse that I have, and have ordered a sample pack of the 
the new line from Moab(through inkjetgoodies). These papers are 
supposed to be very much like the Eclipse, and very affordable. 
Inkjetgoodies claim that they are as every bit as good as the Eclipse 
line, with a better D-Max. I don't have any $ interest in 
inkjetgoodies or what they sell. Just offering my experience with 
their line of goods. Also, they are very good to work with.
