Digital BW, The Print

I wondered about that, Eddie; it'll be interesting to see what the 
satin sample is like; so far I know only what the rep told me: 
microporous instant-drying, vey white surface(not neccessarily a 
plus in my book, matching mattboard has been tough)extended gamut, 
and 11ml 280g/m weight. The Sihl website states it is their highest 
quality product. We'll see how well it matches up.
