Fotospeed could be added to the list, cheaper than permajet in some
sheet sizes, but not for rolls.

One can also derive a little amusement by comparing the Fotospeed and
Permajet Catalogues.  As well as the Innova-like papers there are 
strangely very similar "classic" papers that appear in both
catalogues, but in Fotospeed's case they are called Hahnemuehle.  

Permajet seems to make a big deal of hiding their suppliers whether
for inks or papers (but they have also made amusing mistakes like
failing to change file names or tags in supplied profiles which makes
the source kind-of obvious - at least they did that a couple of years
ago).

A few weeks ago someone replied to a post of mine asking why it could
be helpful to the consumer to know the origins of these products ...
