Re: Innova PSC - was HPR alternative?

2005-12-31 by joshhackney

John,

I recently ordered from Jim at shades of paper too and was very please.  Great guy.

Question for you about Innova PSC.  I just recently started using it in 24" rolls.   I've had A 
LOT of little paper bits on both edges of the roll.  How have you found Innova's cut 
quality?  I recall someone else asking about this a few months ago.  I seem to have a 
higher number of dark particles embedded within the paper too.  I'm curious if guys like 
you and Tyler, who go through a lot more of this paper than I do have seen these issues.

Best.

Josh
