Re: Alternatives to EAM?

2002-05-05 by Thom McGraw

Like most people, I'm searching.  I'm searching for
that thicker version of EAM (and no watermarks, of
course)...a paper not as flimsy and cold as Legion
Photo Matte...a paper that doesn't cost more than a
buck a sheet (letter size)...a paper where the blacks
don't scuff so easily...a paper somewhat like Eclipse
Soft White, but the weight somewhere between 190 and
300 ( I have to raise my print head to the plus
position to print with Eclipse 300, and, even after
aligning the heads, my usual micro banding turns into
macro banding)...I haven't found that paper, yet.

Having been on the Hawk Mountain site yesterday,
browsing through their alternatives, I came across
Goshawk - nice price, nice weight - does anybody have
any experience with this paper?  I have a few sheets
of their Peregrine which printed well with Lyson
quads, but not so well with MIS FS (bad blacks). 
Anyway, I'll see if I can order some samples on Monday
and eventually report back my findings.
