Re: paper advice 8 Papers Printed

2001-07-31 by Tim Spragens

A second from here. When I first saw this paper, I liked it for itself, 
but was wondering how it would print. Even in raking light, the 
texture in the image is not obvious. I was staring last night at three 
very different images, in terms of detail and contrast, printed on 
Torchon, and liked them all. The Piezo ink will warm on it in a 
couple of days, but I don't mind that.
