Hello Clayton,

I'm a little puzzled, perhaps there's something I'm not getting here. When I look at your Great Paper Chase, I see this Premier Art 325 paper already reviewed. Are you reviewing now for perhaps different reasons? Also, would it be possible to take a look at the same paper in the 205 weight? That's what I use, and I'm quite sure Paul Roark uses it also. I have trouble using the 325 in my Epson R1800 because of its thickness... even when loading through the rear slot. Thanks!

Paul

> 4) Also am testing Premier Art's Smooth Hot Press 325, non-OBA. Dmax unmeasured yet, but looks just a bit less than the Alise.  This has been around awhile and is popular, I somehow overlooked it so I'm a latecomer to it.  Looks real good so far.
