RE: [Digital BW] Orwell double sided?

2001-08-22 by Nij

Todd,

Think I've probably done the same thing - also reasonably good results from
the back of even Somerset - but I've not done thorough testing. I wonder if
this is an argument for the 'better' underlying paper in these brands.
Alternatively, the backs of Epson papers are nasty (certainly in colour,
IMHO)???

From an German Etching data-sheet:

"Our Mould Made Inkjet natural line German Etching Board is a ****single****
side coated, traditional fine art media. Made in
our Hahnemuhle Paper Mill, the surface inkjet coating is a special matte
coating, designed for high quality digital fine
art reproduction and print applications on inkjet plotters and printers."
