And nowhere in that review is a reference to rag, cotton or 
alpha-cellulose. One UK shop says rag but no Epson doc says rag.
Sheets so far but Epson mentions production of rolls later on which 
brings the "mould made" in question. We do no longer expect  that they 
are produced by hand with 4 true deckles but on the cilinder good 
look-a-likes can be produced. However 330 grams can be made on a 
foudrinier these days. Hahnem\ufffdhle does that. Epson calls the papers 
Signature Worthy. Some information on what it really is would be nice 
before signatures are placed. BTW,  Zercall Germany still makes "mould 
made" on the cilinder.
