Chris,

You may already be familiar with all this, but here is all the info on the
box of paper:

"Epson Professional Media Super B (Super A3) 13x19" (329x483mm) 20 Sheets,
Watercolor Paper--Radiant White"

The thickness is 11.5 mil, weight= 190 gram/sq meter, opacity 96%.

This is not the thickest or most luxurious matte paper around, but it is
nice to work with because it is less expensive than most others, I think,
and it is pretty nice.  Mediastreets.com has some very nice stuff, and at
some point I will revisit the choice of papers.  For now, I still have other
issues to work out.

Berry
