Yes, Yes, No, Yes
I'll swap the order of my response though.
No argument taken . . . I agree that discussion is healthy and helps
everyone as long as all the parties understand that is it is not meant to
be personal.
Back to coating. Think about what the Fresson lab does . . . 4 color
printing. They coat, expose, develop, coat expose develop ditto ditto . .
. . get the jest. They have to be working on cut sheets, a continuous
roll stock would be impractical.
That is not to say that a coil coating technology couldn't be used for the
production of a monochrome printing paper. The quantity needed for a
paper run would probably be staggering though.

I think that I actually told you about the construction of a Meyer Bar
(though we both may have). I've tested it with size and my intermediate
coating layer but with little success as the pattern of the bar winds
up in the finished print. Someone with more skill than I might have
better success though.
