Digital BW, The Print

Albert, The Wells River paper, which is supposed to be a thin William
Turner, is notorious for flaking. Print a print with a lot of blacks and
then put in a stack of other prints, and shuffle through the stack a few
times. You should see hundreds of little tiny white flecks in the black
areas. I did, when I tried the paper about a year ago. Other than that,
it's a great paper...
