That's the problem.  Jobo was it, was clueless about how to market the
paper, and went bust.

I'm not any more -- looking for an alternative just like you.  Premier Art
is at the top of my list for now, but I have enough Alpha to last me for a
while longer.

I don't like any OBAs.  That's another reason Premier Art is on top.  I also
have some Epson UltraSmooth, but it's expensive and only in rolls.

I resorted to a rip for the 7600, even though I prefer the Epson driver.
The matte dmax was just too low.  See if Moab Natural or Premier Art have a
good enough dmax for you.  Innova will probably be OK, but it'll have some
OBAs and is, I believe, more expensive.
