Digital BW, The Print

I tried some of the Inkjet Art Museum Digital paper about a year ago as was
un-impressed.  I don't think it's the same as PremierArt Hot Press.  Among
other things, the paper I tested flaked; PremierArt does not.  The dmax was
nothing special.

The PremierArt 205 is not as thick as some like, but I think it is capable
of making fine prints.  There is really only one way to see if it'll suit
you -- try some.
