He's a photographer, so pretty good bet this is a specialist photo inkjet printing onto a suitable paper stock, rather than the run of the mill paper that comes in larger reams intended for more general use like you'd get at the local supermarket or whatever. Photo papers to be of higher quality, thickness (or even be card stock) and weight and do indeed have special coatings, finer fibres, use more cotton/silk, and so on that could explain the texture. Depending on the printer, it might not even be card or paper at all; some support various fabrics, plastic/acetate, and even metal in some fairly specialist cases. It doesn't look like a fabric, but could possibly be a sheet of white plastic/acetate.

Globalstar is so different.
L-band uplink and S-band downlink.

Doesn't seem a good fit for Amazon Leo (nee Kuiper).
I'd like to learn more.

I had the same experience with a coworker at AOL in the 1990s.
He blamed his left pinky arthritis on Emacs' requirement of using the CTRL key for practically everything.

It's too bad recent userland vulnerabilities made us remove Emacs from everywhere.
Our detection tools rate it as a 9/10 vulnerability.

Userland only. Yes, no privilege escalation. 9/10 vulnerability.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Push it to a 420 and you won't feel the need to worry about it any more.

Well, I can't speak for the US electoral roll breakdown, but it appears you may be in the 10% that can't add up. :)

American from Colorado, you can only speak once the USA stops putting it's nose where it doesn't belong

Life ProTip: All services using cable modems have been "fiber backed" since the early 2000s. It's called HFC, delivered to the neighborhood by fiber, delivered to the premises by copper coaxial cable.

Well, that's because your local co-op FTTH deployment is funded by heavy government subsidies.

FTTH is outrageously expensive.

It's great when you can get it, but the money is real.

I was in this industry for a time.

FTTH is prohibitively expensive for rural telecoms, but government subsidies made it affordable. I'm still mystified by the economies of this.

For non-rural areas, Verizon almost financially died from deploying FiOS FTTH. There's a reason they tried and sued to stopped deploying in NYC and sold off other plants to Frontier years ago. (Verizon eventually bought Frontier about a decade later, btw).

The right answer is and always has been Fiber-to-the-Neighborhood nodes and then delivering broadband via copper coaxial cables.

Indeed, for more than a decade, the connection between my FiOS device and my router was a 1 GHz copper coaxial cable.
We have experienced no speed improvements (up or down) when we upgraded to total ethernet from the FiOS device.

Cable modem uploads are still way, way too slow. I thought DOCSIS 3 would have fixed that by now, but it has not.

Maybe they shouldn't call it "Fiber Coaxial Cable" in their advertisements.

There is no such thing as "Fiber Coaxial Cable."

At least Spectrum (nee Cox in our area) calls it "Powered by Fiber, delivered by coaxial cable."

It is called the Department of Defense.

That explains it. I wish it were more clear because it confused everyone I've been discussing this with, including myself.
