Jim, 
I have been talking with Norm about this even longer than we have been
talking about these things. This is really between me and Norm. I think
Norm and I understand each other now.  The dealings I have with
Weber-Valentine's potential partners and customers are really between
Weber-Valentine and our customers. 

I am trying to develope long term relationships with many ink suppliers,
by designing our papers to work with their ink. However, I feel this
must be a two way street. If we go ahead and buy a set of Generations
and change our coating to work better with it and have it tested by
Wilhelm or RIT or some of the other labs out there, It will cost us many
thousands of dollars. All of this expense would benefit Media street, as
well as Weber-Valentine.

Now imagin Media Street does decide to brand some of our papers under
there own name. (It happens quite alot, our papers are already sold
under about 30 different brand names.)  Shouldn't they share a little in
the expense of all this. The actual cost of the ink and shipping to us
in a VERY small portion of the total expense in an undertaking like
this. While the expense of buying the ink is not an issue. That fact
that we have to buy it is. 

I have already seen my comments on this subject distorted, and passed
along to Norm, and these may be as well.
So this is the last time I am commenting on this on a public forum.
Also, I am sending the entire contents of this email to him so he can
read the whole thing. If you want to talk about this more, I would be
happy to do it in private. If you want to talk about this some more call
me at wotk or email me privatly. Until I have first hand knowledge of
these inks I am not commenting on them in public again.
