Digital BW, The Print

Hi Jerry,

The swatch I got of the Hahnemuhle only says 230. Like you I was 
relying on the numbers to indicate a heavy paper but apparently a 
person can't go by that. I would like a heavy paper about 250-300gsm, 
similar to Torchon, with a texture that won't flake. You have seen 
the images on my site that I want to do as Duotones and my digital 
work as watercolors and acrylic paints. Some of these I will be using 
canvas but not all. As I am new to printing I really appreciate the 
help you have given me as well as others. Relying on your experience 
and others has helped me make fewer mistakes as well as costly 
mistakes. I know most of the list members aren't interested in 
duotones but if they could recommend some papers they really like and 
why I'm sure they will most likely work with my duotones. Thank you 
again.

Best regards,

Tim
