Re: [Digital BW] Good deal? Fine Art Paper (Moab / Brightcube)

2005-01-25 by Sam McCandless

I think it's a good deal _at_ Moab's price, to 
say nothing of at half price. And I like doing 
business with InkJetGoodies.com in the town of 
Moab too.

Sheets (not rolls) of it I've used both for 
to-be-folded cards and for print exchanges (so I 
could print the image on the reverse of the sheet 
on which I printed the image's documentation, 
which included illustrations). But for print 
exchanges and for unfolded cards (postcards, 
etc.), I came to prefer the 300 weight.
