Digital BW, The Print

Interesting thread, guys!

If y'all are looking for a heavier weight sheet with similar print 
characteristics to Museo desktop and/or Epson SFA, we also have a 365 
gsm weight.  same paper as Museo:  100% cotton, acid-free, pH Neutral 
(our pH is between 7.5-8.5; yes i know 8-8.5 is tending toward 
alkaline, but in the paper biz we still think of this as neutral), no 
optical brighteners (which will turn the paper yellow over time).  
This is available in 24x36 sheets and 35x47 sheets (25 INTERLEAVED 
sheets per carton).  
The interleaves are acid-free and can be re-used ;).

This 365 gsm will go through a 1270, 2000P and 750.  Trust me.  I 
have done it and it surprised me.  you do have to feed one at a time, 
the media lever needs to be set all the way to "+"; but it works.

sorry, we can't cut down from this size, but y'all are creative ;)

if interested contact me off-list for samples, prices, etc.

thanks for your attention 
sincerely
robert rex
