Thanks Paul. 

How would you say the dmax compares with PremierArt Matte BW? I like that I should be able to buy the Lasal in A4 from Australia and it's slightly heavier.

Speaking of which, I can't imagine why American manufacturers have not embraced the A4 size which is so much better for the 2:3 aspect ratio. It's frustrating for us in the rest of the world who are metric.

I suppose a lot of people are shooting in 3:4 aspect ratio though which is more suited to Letter size ...

thanks,
Richard
