    That's still not known and I didn't ask since I assume they can't say. My guess is of course that it's just repackaged Fuji CA. It's about 15% less expensive per their blurb in the catalog (didn't do the math myself) and that's probably ball park for how much it could be discounted by their ordering large quantities to re-sell but that's all my speculation and worth what you paid for it.

    We will have a better idea once someone has some in hand to compare.

    Roger,
    thanks for the update.
    I got lazy and never emailed about the stuff.
    Sounds promising.

    It's listed on the site now with an expected delivery date of Oct. 7. It also says "Made In the USA".

    Did millions of people suddenly disappear? This may have an answer.

    I wonder if "made in the USA" is a mistake, as the catalog says Japan.

    But if it is made in the US that's excellent news. It means it's almost certainly Kodak paper. Not sure if Kodak would do a special run cut down from rolls for a larger order - probably. Or maybe they buy it in rolls and have it cut down or cut it down. Or maybe it's a mistake and it's really Fuji. At this stage, who knows? Someone will need to get it and try it and have other papers to compare it to. That latter would leave me out. I haven't printed color myself since 1999 or so and have only a few commercial prints recently made on Fuji CA.

    My guess either it's fuji, or it's kodak edge or supra ultra cut from rolls. I don't see Kodak making cut sheet paper (other than supra ultra) for 3rd party sales when they don't even offer that themselves anymore.
