Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Steadman. What inks do you use with Torchon and with what 
printer? I like printing my b/w as duotones similar to a selenium-
toned b/w. Right now I'm using a 1280 and can't buy a 2nd printer 
right away. I just bot a complete new computer with 19" monitor a 
Canon 4000dpi scanner and the 1280. If I tell the wife I'm going to 
buy a 2nd printer I may be bunking over at a friends place. Haha.
 I have a Wacom tablet and Painter software to buy yet. So maybe in a 
couple of months but for now I plan to continue using duotones from 
color inks. You have helped me make up my mind on the paper so it 
just leaves the inks to decide about. Thank you for your help.

300 but has a "handmade paper" look to it and print qualities I find 
very attractive.  Albrecht Durer and Hahnemule 230 have a 
pronounced "watercolor paper" texture which is very apparent in a 
print.  Torchon texture is subtle and "disappears" in the image.  At 
least on all of my images.

texture is a fine thing when doing the inkjet prints.  Some papers 
are too smooth in my opinion.
