Digital BW, The Print

Tyler,

Are any of these papers available in wide format sheets?  Where are you
getting them?  I don't see that Jim lists this PremierArt Generations paper
on his website, and the Museo textured rag doesn't show large sheets.  Are
you switching to roles?  I hate roles.

Have I had my nose to the grindstone too much, and missed the chatter about
wide format sheets of HPR being discontinued?  Nobody, including Shades of
Paper has 24x36 sheets on the website anymore, so I emailed Hahn. customer
support in Chicago, and they have just emailed me back that all 24" sheet
stock is being discontinued.  So, it isn't only about the price of the
sheets - they aren't going to make them anymore.

I thought you hate rolls too??!
Josh
