Tim and others,
this claim regarding Oriental Seagull papers you make is rather close to
home for me. I previously documented my woes with Oriental seagull regarding
fogging and mottling on this list, however it was also encouraging to note
that Ryuji mentioned that he found no problems when testing the same paper
(and batch) that I have been testing (see
//www.freelists.org/archives/pure-silver/04-2005/msg00276.html); this
is another reason why I am cautious about making any assertions yet.
I can probably go into more details when some more independent comparative
testing is undertaken since I'd rather be certain of the facts before
claiming too much.
If what you say is true Tim, then its a sad state of affairs if either
- the employee who answered Ray's phone query at Oriental is being kept in
the dark and thereby being encouraged to unknowingly yet blatantly lie on
behalf of their boss, or
- the employee is blatantly lying (and knows it) and their attitude is
encouraged.
regards
Peter Badcock
