Thank You J.
Hi Dave,
I received my print on (Skipping Boxes) Friday. It's beautiful and arrived in perfect condition! It will now join your Met Life/Flatiron print on my living room wall.
Thank you!

I got a couple of e-mails about the search engine not working properly in the photography store. That was because I was trying to kludge the google image search engine for my own site. However, I went back to their text search and that seems to work o.k. Just not as nifty as seeing a thumbnail.

Crane's Museo Silver Rag
I asked David at Crane papers for an eta for the Museo Silver Rag paper which I guess I've been raving about. Here is the happy (for me) reply:
Hi Dave,
Thanks for all the kind words. We are having the official launch of this product at the PMA show Feb 26-Mar 1 in Orlando. The paper will start shipping immediately following the show...only 4 weeks to go!
Best regards,
David
Here are some more specs from the PDF that David sent me:
SPECIFICATIONS
Museo® Silver Rag™ is made to archival standards:
• gloss finish
• 100% cotton
• internally buffered
• no optical brighteners
• pH: 7.9-8.5
• weight: 300 gsm
• thickness: 0.015” (380 μm)
• designed for pigmented inkjet inks (bold is mine)
• brightness: 90
• robust, damage-free packaging for
large sheets
I'm trying to time my paper buying now so that there's not much of the old RC type papers left and when this paper comes to market. I suppose it seems strange to get that excited about a paper - but this ink / printer / paper combination is as close to air-dried fiber darkroom print as I've seen. I can't claim to have seen every possible ink / printer / paper combination - nor can anyone, so I think it's fair for me to make this extremely positive appraisal. In other words, I'm using photo black K3 inks with the 4800. Who knows what the results will be with dye-based inks, or other ink formulations.
