Digital BW, The Print

Is there any chance that the Kirkland/Costco Glossy paper has the  
same origins as some of Ilford's paper? It too is made in Switzerland.

And if it is Ilford rebranded, perhaps one of Ilford's other  
inexpensive papers will have similar characteristics.

I picked up a single package of an Ilford 13x19, 254 g/m2, glossy,  
resin-coated paper that is identified as Printasia Premium Photo  
Glossy Paper. It was made in Japan, and cost $27.99 at CompUSA (20  
sheets).  It looks pretty good for both colour and B&W (QTR + MIS  
inks) on an Epson 2200, but I haven't done any tests or side-by-side  
comparisons.  I don't have ready access to more of it, so I'm  
reserving it for those occasions when I want a big, cheap thrill ;-)
