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.

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.
