Thanks Paul,

You're right. Who needs the extra worry and potential replacement cost. I haven't tried the 
Innova media yet either. But I do use Premier Art Hotpress and it is so nice not to have to 
treat it like its made of glass.

I really like William Turner and German Etching for their surfaces, color gamut, and dmax 
but would like to find a similar textured rag with a more forgiving texture. I would assume 
Hahnemuhle is working on that too. They better be.  I don't find Photo Rag to be nearly as 
tender as the above two mentioned. I rarely have it skuff, but then I hear a lot of people 
complaining.

John
