Just received my Moenkopi Unruo 55 and Kozo 110 papers from Lifefoto.de (very quick btw!). A first impression: both seem to be very nice papers, albeit rather warm. Personally I would liked to have them a bit whiter, but it may work out. Unryu has a very visible fiber structure. Nice, but to my taste too dominant for normal use, will be great for an occaisional effect. Kozo is much more subtle, slight texture, bit transparant. This is what I was looking for (apart from its warmth). From the image on their site, Hiromipaper seems to offer a whiter version of a similar paper, IJ-0462 Aya White, but only delivered in single sheet (A2) versions, which makes this rather expensive, that on top of shipment costs to Europe. Phoenix in South Carolina was also suggested, but I can't find these papers on their website. I will do some test with the Moenkopi Kozo paper, but I remain interested in a whiter version, preferably but not necessary from a Eurpean supplier. Any further suggestions? Joost
