Re: [Digital BW] Eclipse Satine -- for Jerry

I've only found it at http://www.photoinkjet.com

The blacks are CLOSE to epson archival, but not quite as dark. I use the
Bright White. and it is really white. Beautiful paper. Comes in 2
weights, 190 and 300 gsm. The 190 is noticeably thicker than EAM.

If I could only get about 1.9 or 2.0 density in the blacks on that
paper, I'd be in hog heaven. I can with the backlight film setting, but
some prints then show little deep shadow separation...
