Digital BW, The Print

EEM in 13x19 50 sheet box is around $36 at Atlex.com whereas this stuff is over $100 for 
50 sheets so unless I'm missing something here, looks to cost 3 times the price of EEM, 
hardly what I would call "about the same".  No doubt it's a fine paper though.  I have also 
been looking for a little nicer/thicker paper than EEM for close to the same price but in 
Rolls.  Just ordered some Moab Keyenta 205 dual sided so can proof on both sides.  It runs 
about $20-$30 more than EEM in 100 Ft rolls at 44 inches($139 for EEM at Atlex vs. $159 
Keyenta at Adorama or $169 at DTG with free shipping).  Not 100% cotton, but Alpha 
Cellulose acid free).  If it's nice, the Moab Entrada which is 100% Cotton uses the same 
coating and supposedly prints the same.
