It said was made in UK, so I guess it might be re-branded Kentmere? It seems it is cheaper than both Kentmere and Foma in same configs. Anyone has any experience with it?

It would seem that if the paper is coated, say in China and confectioned in the UK, would it be "legal" to be labeled as "made in the UK"?
