Re: The New Kodak Paper

2004-02-05 by bwinkjet

Jeff,

Note that the package on the satin does not promise 100 years and 
the Glossy paper does. At least that is what I found today when I 
looked at the paper at Office Depot.  I wonder if the Satin has the 
new technology the glossy has?  Hope it does.  Would prefer that 
surface.
