[Leica] Need printing paper advice

[Aram Langhans]

Calumet use to sell Brilliant and I bought some when a friend of mine 
was a store manager.  Loved it, but then they went belly up and it is 
not available anymore.  I used the luster version and it was great 
stuff.  And not very expensive.  My friend thought it was made by Moab, 
but have never been able to find out for sure.
