Digital BW, The Print

Oriental hasn't officially released their new coated fibre paper yet -- 
they're announcing it at the PhotoPlus Expo next weekened.   BUT they've already 
shipped it to B+H so they would be fully stocked for the Expo, and B+H has put 
it on sale now.   

The paper is marketed as Oriental Graphica FB Glossy, and is available in 
81/2 x 11 and 13x19 sizes.   I bought a package of both sizes in B+H's store in 
Manhattan this evening; it is also available for purchase on B+H's website 
(www.bhphotovideo.com).   I asked Yossi, the department manager, how much they had 
in stock, and he said they had taken delivery of a pretty big shipment, and 
shouldn't run out soon.

I know a lot of people on this list have been eagerly awaiting the debut of 
this paper.   Don't ask me how it prints -- I just got it, and now I have to 
figure out how to print it using QTR on my 2200.   (Being new to QTR, I am open 
to all suggestions in this respect.)   I'll post more when I have something 
useful to contribute.
