Silver Rag subtitute

Silver Rag subtitute

2006-04-27 by olaf ringdahl

Thanks for the responses. We seem to disagree but I think we really are in complete agreement. Whether we say that sheet users are a less important part of their market or that roll users are a more important part, it comes to the same thing. I don't blame them for serving the roll users first. I would too. 

 

My objection to cutting sheets from rolls was that the curl would be hard to eliminate. Now it seems that the company was having the same problem but, according to Peter Marshall they seem to have solved the problem.  



It looks as if all of us may soon be a little happier.

Re: [Digital BW] Silver Rag subtitute - roll almost without any curl

2006-04-27 by Steve Gledhill

My 17" roll of Silver Rag is almost totally flat when unrolled.  Every 
sheet (typically 17"x 22") I print from the roll then cut is practically 
as flat as any sheet from a box.  It is a very stiff paper compared with 
what I'm used to - and all the better for it.  This lack of curl may 
well be because the roll is new and the paper has not yet had time to 
'set' with a hard-to-handle permanent curl. This is contrary to my 
expectations - and very pleasing.
