Check out some of the other distributors like Media Street.Com. 
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 can be purchased in larger sheets and cut 
down. This makes the paper very reasonably priced.

I purchase mine in packs of approx 25 36"x48" sheets for $265 
delivered. I have the dealer cut it in half. I then cut is manually 
in half again into 100 18"x24" sheets & trim from there after 
printing.  

This reduces the price to $2.65 per 18"x24" sheet. As I print a lot 
of 16x20, the cost is very reasonable. Consider a box of 50 16x20" 
Ilford Fiber Base MG IV. B&H sells it for approx. $103.00. That is 
$2.00 per sheet. I know that is initially takes me 8-15 sheets until 
I get a well made "fine print". After that additional copies come 
more easily. 

So in comparison, you can but the better papers at much the same 
price as photographic papers.

Regards and Happy Holidays,

Mike

Thanks Jerry, this sounds like a good contender. Good blacks ? I'm 
new to quadtone printing (MIS) and am trying to catch up on the 
various papers available - would you mind providing a brief 
description of the difference between the Satine and Velvet finish 
you mentioned that it comes in ?
