Digital BW, The Print

Stephen, Seth, Andrew and Arthur,

Thank you for your responses.  I will check out the on-line stores 
and will visit Penn Camera, with whom I have been spending my money 
for just over 20 years when living in and visiting DC, but last time 
I visited their paper stock was not exciting.  I bought a pack of 
Museo but it was not to my liking.

Thanks for all your helpful responses.

Colin
