Digital BW, The Print

Hello Myron..

    If my memory serves me correctly, I believe I sold you some cut film
holders abour 6-7 years ago..If that's true, we've both gravitated to the
"digital arena"!

   I too have been searching for the "source" of Costco's paper for the
purpose of finding larger (ie at least 13x19")..I'm getting what I consider
GREAT results with either QTR or paul Roark's workflow on a 1280 with MIS
spongless carts and their UT2 inks on this paper..

   Has anyone on this group attempted to contact Costco's purchasing
department for the purpose of finding their vendor, or MORE likely pursuing
COSTCO themselves for a LARGE QUANTITY buy of 13x19 cut sheets by interested
members of this group..If there is ENOUGH INTEREST on their part as well as
the GROUP, maybe we can ALL get a supply of the larger paper...Probably a
"LONGSHOT", but this paper is GREAT IMHO!..Any ideas??

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 ;-)
