Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for setting me straight.  I was indeed looking at the more
expensive 100% cotton PremierArt 205 and not the Premier Premium
Matte.  The price you quote is for the really thin 110 but the 210 is
still very reasonable.  I will  have to give this a try as after going
back through the archives, I read some worrisome accounts of the Moab
Keyenta with regards to flaking and dust(so I canceled my order and
changed it to EEM).  I wonder if anyone else could coment on the dust
issue you mention with the Premier stuff.
