[Henry Rattle]

While we're on the subject of paper, Diana mentioned a while ago that she
values Fabriano Artistico "soft press" for gum. I can find that listed in US
stockists, but not in the UK. Stockists here offer a surface called NOT -
does anyone know if that equates to soft press?

Best wishes

Henry
