Digital BW, The Print

The 17x22 inch sheets are convenient, but I wonder if they increased 
the basis weight for semimatte sheets as well to improve handling (the 
250 gsm roll stuff kinks easily).  Price per 17x22 inch sheet is also 
quite a bit more than using it in rolls.  Estimate about $3.50/sheet 
pre-cut vs $1.85/sheet cut from roll (Based on cost of a 44 inch roll 
cut into two 17 inch rolls).
