cotton, acid free, and contains no fluorescent whiteners." And Paul, 
through his own tests, confirmed the absence of OBA's and the 
presence of buffering. This is another example of the enormous value 
of this forum and the generosity of the participants who freely share 
their knowledge. (We've all heard this appreciation bit before but I 
thought it wouldn't hurt to repeat it now and then.)

Hello Olaf,

I tested the paper also, Epson 2200, original pigs. I was very 
impressed HOWEVER, the paper has a definite "look". I wouldn't choose 
it above all others at all times, but it will do very nicely for 
prints that I feel will go with it.

It ain't the magic paper for all purposes, but for what it can do, it 
probably can't be beat.

I will probably always have it around as soon as I can get some 
commercially.

Cheers

Jules
