Could be Hahnemuhle Sumi-e 80gsm. This is designed for the Japanese 
painting style of the same name and is very thin. Heaton Cooper have it 
on their web site-

I think it's been discountinued, but you might want to ask Jim to be 
sure.

I do also belive the Hahnemuhle "Japan" paper has been cancelled. If
there is any around Jim would probably have it. However, Digital Art
Supplies carries a bunch of new rice papers that have all kinds of
varieties of textures. I ordered a whole box of them as a sample
package. I wish I have had time to test them but I haven't. In general
what you achieve is a very unique texture and translulency. Some
apparently coated while others I'm not sure about. It isn't expensive
to try them though. 

Also I posted a list of good suppliers of rolls of rice paper on the
digital large format epson list. If you did a search for rice papers
you will find a list of the best websites where you can order them.
Most of those are not coated, but from my experience the Japan paper
didn't have any less dot spread than the uncoated Mulberry paper that
you can get from several sources and has the best photo quality that
I've found for a rice paper. It is what I would call semi-translucent.
I tape it to another sheet of matte paper to run it through any of the
machines. Here are the links that I posted a while back -

That Japan paper by Hahnemuhle was sold by other companies but 
then usually called Flame-Retardant Paper or Banner. 80 gr/m2. 
It existed before Hahnemuhle put it in their catalogue and 
called it Japan Paper.

Sihl and Oc\ufffd have it.

http://www.sihl.ch/download/catalog/catalog-127769874068898750.pdf

Called Multitec Non-Woven there. It isn't in the Sihl USA 
catalogue as far as I know but you could ask Sihl USA.

Oc\ufffd (Dutch) code IJM430, Drop Banner Flame Retardant

I think Sihl makes it at their Swiss plant.

There will be more companies that sell it.

Check "inkjet awagami" on google. You should find interesting  products.

That HM japan paper was an old cooperation between Hahnemuehle and 
Japex company.

Another supplier of Japanese paper is Daniel Smith, in Seattle. I've 
used several of their Japanese papers, and find many of them very 
nice for printing with pigment inks on Epson 7000, with little dot 
gain. 
Check the paper section:  http://www.danielsmith.com/

Hi Steve,
I print on this paper from time to time. You can find acid free 
Japanese rice paper in art supply stores. I get in in a college book 
store (art supplies department) near a university where I live. 
(Central Texas).

It comes in large sheets that I have to cut down to 13" width for my 
2200. I use Enhanced Matte on the Epson Driver.

It's excellent but darn it I thought I was the only one doing it!!!

There's nothing new under the ink jet knozzles.

Cheers

Jules
