Re: Diluted Eboni and uncoated papers. It was: Mixing for carbon-6 inks

Another comment. Sometime back it was stated that blacklight showed that the Somerset contained OBAs.I hadn't seen that but wondered about it so I used a monochrometer to illuminate the paper and scanned at about 2 nm uv bandwidths from 330 nm up to near 400 nm.There was no visible florescence over that range.
I've been using from stock that I purchased quite some time ago so maybe something changed in the paper since then?

The non white papers are also nice for appropriate projects. For a buff paper, Arches Cover is a favorite.
