Re: MIS Inks Questions was:[Digital BW] Paul Roark!!!!!

Tim, what do you think of Torchon? (Royal Riviera)? It is the only paper
I've ever printed on with the piezo inks that wasn't brown. It has beautiful

Wish it was just a tiny bit less textured, but it does print nice and sharp
for a textured paper.
