Just wondering if anyone else has tried this paper by Breathing Color called Para Smooth. We started about a month ago and for landscape with lots of color, like sun-ups and sun sets ,beats any paper out there. The colors really pop, the transition from one color to another is soft and pleasing. The paper also tend to do a good job on contrast also. We use this paper on a Canon IPF 8400 with pigmented ink. We did a test with a picture we had printed on Hahnemuhle paper a year ago and did the same print on this paper. No comparison , in my judgement.
It's is expensive at delivered price of 240.00 (here in Nova Scotia)for a roll of 24 inch x 39 feet but you end up with takes away the pain of the cost .
I'm under the impression that you can order direct from the company (B.C.) in the U.S. but they wont ship to Can.
Off the web site here in the US it's $140.00 a roll as low as $102.00 a roll in bulk over $1K. If you use a lot of it, it might be a good savings to just have it shipped to somewhere in northern Maine and go pick it up. Never used it myself but you have peeked my interest in the company.
I could only find a listing for Pura Smooth?

We were thinking just what you suggested. I have connections in Bangor and have a broker on retainer as we buy from the States often. Wish the Can. dollar was a little stronger. Right now we are in the stage of trying to see if it's going to be popular and cost worthy for our clients. I know for myself, that will be my go to until they find anything better. I didn't even look if they make it in sheets. If you try it let me know what you think of it.
