Digital BW, The Print

Jamie,

I find that the German Etching is a bit warmer than Photo Rag and has a lot
more texture as well. The German Etching is also a much stiffer paper. The
Photo Rag is brighter and smoother. In terms of price they should be pretty
close when comparing the Photo Rag 308gsm to the German Etching which only
comes in 310gsm. The lighter weight Photo Rag 188gsm is a bit cheaper. Both
are very beautiful papers and you really should try it out for yourself.

All have sample packs available. I believe that Digital Art Supplies will
sell you just a couple of sheets if you want to try it.
