2006-06-19 by Steven Karafyllakis

Greg;

As I mentioned in the previous reply, I wasn't really testing either 
color or B&W. However, if you'd like to do so, at this point I still 
have some of the Iridium I could send you, and also the Oriental 
Graphica lustre. Yes, I'm in the US, if you're interested send a 
mail address, I'll send you a few sheets 

Steve
