Digital BW, The Print

Not a bad question -

So far this looks to be only about 15% more expensive than EAM, and
I'm having lots fewer problems with it. (So 15% more expensive, but
more than 15% better)

I wouldn't use either this paper or EAM for portfolio prints or prints
for sale, but for proofing, for prints I bring to critique groups, for
improving my technique, it's a good bet I think.

For "real" prints I prefer Somerset Photo Enhanced right now, but I'm
planning to try Museo as well, I understand that it has a smoother
surface, which would come in handy from time to time.

Rag papers are simply prohibitively expensive for day-to-day printing,
at least on my budget. I'm using them only for my most important
prints right now. As my business grows and I can afford more expensive
materials, I'll probably shift over more printing to better papers.
