Re sourcing paper in the UK, we should chat.  It really is a rip off.  You
are better off getting your paper (even stuff made in Europe) sent from the
US.  I've been meaning to write up my research/recent experience re roll
paper for the 4800.  Needless to say I have filled my immediate need for
Hahnemuhle Photorag 308 by sourcing it in the US at about half the cost of
buying it here.  

One thing to remember about paper is that few companies actually make their
own.  Hahnemuhle is a notable exception. (The great thing about Hahnemuhle
is you know they make their paper and you know what you're getting.)  But
Permajet and Innova are good examples.  Permajet here in the UK sells a nice
paper called Imagelife Alpha (natural white) and another Imagelife Omega
(high white).  Innova in the US sells a product called Photo Smooth Cotton
High White.  After some digging I think you will find that this is the same
paper as Permajet Omega.  And guess what, Innova plans to sell a natural
white version in the US soon, ie the same as Permajet Alpha.  Another.
Mandev here in the UK sells a couple of products called Eterna Excel Natural
White and Eterna Excel Natural High White.  While Les at Mandev will not
confirm, they are indistinguishable from the Permajet products.  Now guess
which is the cheapest?  Well unfortunately the Mandev Eterna product, while
substantially cheaper than Permajet, is not as cheap as sourcing Innova
products of Jim Doyle at Shades of Paper in the US (you'll find him very
understanding of UK customs conditions).  I did my comparison shopping with
respect to 17in rolls - you should check out pricing for your preferred
sizes.

UK paper buyers - don't be afraid to shop around.
