Re: [Digital BW] Legion Photo Matte

Greetings,

I would like to place one more small positive vote for the Legion 
Photo Matt. Just recently hung a show of prints on this paper in a 
local gallery, and am very pleased with them. 18x28 image size 
from 35mm on 24x36 sheets. Nice tonal range, smooth surface,  
good black under glass.

It would be nice if it were 100% Rag, slightly heavier and the 
OB's were gone, but it seems at the present stage of the 
technology we cannnot have our cake and eat it too. As far as 
archival standards, they will more than likely outlast me. After that 
point I feel that my interest in the subject may wane.

One reason I used it was the availability of the paper in 24x36 
sheets. I am sorry that some of the other manufacturers haven't 
made their products available in this size, especially Photo Rag.  
Rolls are fine, but it was nice to avoid print curl. Perhaps all 
things will come to us who wait.

For info, I got the paper from Cone's shop, on sale for $120.00 
for 25 sheets. Not too bad.
