Warm toned paper

2002-03-24 by garrysarre

My first foray into achieving a rich goldern sepia was with MIS 
colour pigs. White paper was doing nasty things to the highlights. 
Giving the illusion of a cross-over into blue. I then tried printing 
onto concord 8511 - antique white. This immediately solved the "blue 
highlight" problem as this paper, while not looking particularly 
interesting as it has no interesting texture and looks yellow. It 
printed the best out of my little MIS sample back. (I have only 
tried four papers)

Surely, for those wanting to use a sepia look, the cream/yellow 
papers would look better, especially in the highlights where there 
is very little pigment laid down.

I would like some recommendations from anyone who has tried any of 
the warmer toned papers and what they are called.

Thanks very much.
