Digital BW, The Print

Albert,

I only tried William Turner once, as it is the most expensive paper
there is! I didn't notice much flaking, perhaps 2 or 3 little places in
a letter size print.  To help,  wipe down these papers with a cloth or a
brush before printing on them. Apply medium pressure. You'll see a big
improvement. William Turner doesn't seem to be the same surface as wells
river, which is sandpaper - like. It makes beautiful prints. 

I think the the German Etching paper is the same as Media Street's Royal
Plush, and it is much cheaper at mediastreet. http://www.mediastreet.com
  Royal Jazz is the thinner version of Royal Plush, and isn't so
expensive.  Anything with the Name "Royal" in it at mediastreet is in
fact a Hahnemuhle Paper.
