Digital BW, The Print

Hi Jeff/Paul,

Thanks for the info, I am going to start profiling as soon as I get a
minute.  Have either of you used Inkpress Print Plus Heavyweight
2-sided matte?  It seems to have roughly the same specs as Premier
Matte (215gsm, 12 mil, acid/lingin free) but its way cheaper. BH is
selling 250 sheets (letter) for $44.
