What about Lexjet papers?

What about Lexjet papers?

2006-10-09 by Steven Karafyllakis

Hi all;

Has anyone tried Lexjet fine art papers? They have a group of five Han. 
analogues they claim they manufacture themselves, but they don't have 
any particularly convenient sized trial packs. Any users out there that 
can give us a report?

I know one thing. Lexjet called me awhile back trying sell this
fantastic new paper called Innova that Jimmy Doyle @ Shades Of
Paper.com had already been selling us for amost 2 years previously 
(after Jim did all the research and gave out millions of free sample
packets at his expense to us). Lexjet acted like they were the first
people on the planet to hear of Innova and seemed shocked that we had
even heard of it.

Yes, I've tested a couple of their "new" papers several months ago. I 
don't remember the names--I remember not being impressed with the 
texture and feel of the paper, but blacks and gamut were comparable to 
Hahn. and Innova--but at a very high price. There was nothing I saw in 
the papers that would validate the amount of money they were trying to 
get for it.

Best;
