The larger distributors will confection the sheets and rolls from
big rolls they get from Hahnemuhle or directly from the coating
factory.
Cheaper as a raw product, cheaper in transport, easier in
rebranding and they have a chance to adapt to the market in the
last minute.
For example the introduction of the 4000 and probably a wider
than 44" model in the spring of 2004 will change demand.
