Digital BW, The Print

A few months ago I was having trouble finding PremierArt Hot Press Fine Art paper in the 205gsm weight. I checked with InkjetArt and Atlex, my usual dealers, and it appeared it was discontinued. I contacted the company and they said not so, it was some kind of internal distribution problem and it would soon be available at dealers again. They did suggest this dealer however:

I ordered some from them, all went well, but since I had a history of orders at InkJet art I preferred sticking with them.

Today I e-mailed InkjetArt and it turns out this paper is now listed as "Museum Digital". 

See: http://www.inkjetart.com/cart/index.php?cPath=1_6_2330

When I asked why, they said it was now packaged as a house brand.

Strange, I don't quite understand all this, but anyway, I thought there might be users of this paper looking for how to obtain it.

Maybe group members know of other sources, if so, please correct me if I've overlooked some.

Hope this helps,

Paul

If the spectral plot is anything near the PremierArt original then I can 
understand the "Museum" part of the name. The Crane Museo qualities had 
almost identical spectral plots on the coating side to the PremierArt 
Hot Press. Intelicoat could be involved in this case or they use the 
same coating facility.
