Digital BW, The Print

I do also belive the Hahnemuhle "Japan" paper has been cancelled. If
there is any around Jim would probably have it. However, Digital Art
Supplies carries a bunch of new rice papers that have all kinds of
varieties of textures. I ordered a whole box of them as a sample
package. I wish I have had time to test them but I haven't. In general
what you achieve is a very unique texture and translulency. Some
apparently coated while others I'm not sure about. It isn't expensive
to try them though. 

Also I posted a list of good suppliers of rolls of rice paper on the
digital large format epson list. If you did a search for rice papers
you will find a list of the best websites where you can order them.
Most of those are not coated, but from my experience the Japan paper
didn't have any less dot spread than the uncoated Mulberry paper that
you can get from several sources and has the best photo quality that
I've found for a rice paper. It is what I would call semi-translucent.
I tape it to another sheet of matte paper to run it through any of the
machines. Here are the links that I posted a while back -
