[Alt-photo] Re: COT 320 AT B&S was Papers for Palladium

[BOB KISS]

DEAR ALL,

            I just received a reply from Melody at B&S and she said they are
expecting a full supply of all sizes of COT 320 by the end of the week.
Further, she said they were working with John to maintain sufficient
supplies of COT 320 in the future.

                        CHEERS!

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.
