Thank you, Jim, for your answer.  I had thought it likely but wasn't 
sure. Antonis raised the long known confusion as to the coatings on 
their branded paper and if it is different but laid on Hahnemuhle  
stock.  Do you know, Jim, what the reality is? 

My understanding is that the Lyson Standard Fine Art has been linked 
to German Etching.

Thanks for your help,

Colin
