I think part of the confusion arising now is because only one of the
"heavyweights" is BFK. The other is plain Rives heavyweight and, if
memory serves, it's actually *lighter* than BFK (tho heavier than the
lightweight). Again, that's Rives lightweight, not Rives BFK lightweight
-- plus of course regular Rives BFK, and then Rives du Lin, which is a
lovely paper for mounting things on, but a bit rough (for my taste) for
gum printing.
