Digital BW, The Print

I'm in the UK and have just taken delivery of the fist box of crane silver
rag, and on first impressions it's an epiphany. It really does have the feel
of fibre paper. Very nice indeed. Nice rich tones and good blacks. The
problem is the cost - I paid UKP 44 including vat and postage for 25 sheets
of A4.

Now I see I can get it for USD 36 + postage + UK tax from MIS, which is
pretty good (as I am planning an order soon), but I am off on holiday to New
England in October so I thought I would see if I could get some boxes while
I was there. So... could anyone recommend any shops in MA, RI or CT to get
some? Prices would be helpful too.

As I said, I am impressed with the paper - I am using UT3D and Paul Roark's
CSR UPG N1 curve. I also tried the Kirkland warm glossy curve, and this
seems to work well on the paper. Slightly lighter than the screen says, but
not much.

One thing I did notice was that if I used the settings "best photo" I got
visible banding. I switched to "photo RPM" and "super micro weave" and this
was much better. It does take a long time to print though.

Thanks in advance for any assistance on this.
