Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for being there with good useful advice.

I have been using the Epson scrapbook not because of any detailed study on my part but because my wife scrapbooks and 12X12 papers are not easily found. Just lucky on this one. Red River was on my possibles list but good to know it is also on your list of good papers. They are based in Dallas just a short drive from me, I believe that they are just a repackager and a reseller but I do not know which mill is the source for this paper.

Any thoughts on Fabrino Artistico watercolor it is 100% cotton made from cotton balls rather than rag or canvas Jerrys Artorama has 10 sheets of 11 X 14 for $8. I have not found any 8X size but there is 16 X 20 which I could cut into 4 8X10 sheets but not a good choice for me due to the deckle edges. It still looks like the epson scrapbook is for the school photos still the best choice. For other photos I might prefer a hot press watercolor for the extreme long lifetime. Fabrino claims their watercolor paper was used by Leonardo Davinci quite an endorsement.
