Digital BW, The Print

Hi Myron,
I would not like to exhibit photos on such light paper, because I don't think it's going to lie flat nearly as well as the 210gsm paper.

Maybe I'll buy a box as a trial, but I remain very disappointed.

I wonder what the price difference will be and wonder if this is simply a cost-cutting exercise.
