[BOB KISS]

DEAR DIANA,

 

            Please recall that you and I had problems with COT 320 at about
the same time a few years ago.  Before that B&S had problems with Bergger
meeting their demands for supply of it.  And you and I had a problem getting
John Horowy to communicate with us in a way that would solve the problems.
That was a while ago and both of these issues have been resolved.

 

1)    Melody must have had a "moment of prayer" with John because B&S had an
extensive supply of COT 320 in all sizes up until recently.  I just checked
their website and all the COT 320 seems to be out of stock.again a supply
issue!!!  I have e-mailed Melody to ask why this problem again but it is
only 6:30 am in Santa Fe.  Though she gets up and starts work early, I don't
expect a reply until later and will forward the info.  

 

2)    The problems I had back then with COT 320 were resolved and the last 4
batches of 20X24/25 sheets have been perfect so I would not shy away from
it.   And Melody is a lot nicer to deal with regarding any issues with the
paper!

 

3)    Which Revere do you use?  The one sold by B&S?  Do you use the lighter
or heavier paper?  As I like 320 gsm I am assuming I should try the Revere
300 gsm, yes?  

 

CHEERS FROM BARBADOS!

                        BOB

Hi Catharine,

I used to use both Arches Platine and COT 320, but I started having a lot of
trouble with batches of COT320 in the last year or so-- lots of graininess
and problems.  I have no idea what they've done differently with the paper,
but I have to believe they made some change with it.  I know a couple of
other people who have had the same trouble with batches they purchased.  And
while I like Arches Platine, I did start using Revere, probably based on
someone's recommendation here-- and it's truly the best paper I've ever used
for pt/pd.  Really beautiful results.  Now I don't use anything else.
