Digital BW, The Print

I concurr with your comments Richard....
      This paper replaced "Enhanced Matte" for me and others....This was an EXCELLENT paper for the price..It appears the only item with the "Premier" name I'll be buying in the future is their ART SHIELD protective spray..I'm really VERY disappointed that they elected to kill-off this great  paper which became my "maintstay" for both B&W proofing, and  final work as well..

  Hi,
  PremierArt Matt BW has been disconinued and replaced with a 180gsm single-sided paper - PrmierArt Deluxe Presentation Matt:
  http://www.premierimagingproducts.com/pm_mattebw.php

  Seeing at 210gsm Matt BW was already on the light side, this is not good as far as I'm concerned.

  Dressing it up with meaningless words like 'Deluxe' and 'Presentation' is pointless. 

  They say it's whiter and has better colour gamut, but for me, this new paper is a non-starter - both because it's single-sided and too light.

  I don't know what to replace the Matt BW with - there aren't many importers in New Zealand bringing in alternatives.

  Richard
