[Alt-photo] Re: Papers for Palladium

[Diana Bloomfield]

Bill, I always get mine from Talas and have never had an issue with what I've received.  They also ship it flat, which I like, and leave the package on my front porch-- which suits me just fine. ;)  Just looking at my order history with Talas, the last time I ordered some, I got  25 sheets of 22x30 - 300 gsm-  and the cost was $4.72 each.  I paid $11.80 in shipping, so the grand total was $129.80.  Looks like a bargain to me. :)
