Re: double sided matt paper..?

2003-08-22 by scrber

Thanks Keith, I remember looking at this back in the Eclipse days, by 
the time I'd paid the shipping tax and duty it worked out cheaper to 
use the PhotoRag sourced from the UK.  I agree with Jo, a double 
sided EAM A3+ would be perfect for me!
