Digital BW, The Print

Hi Andre, 

I still have a bunch of the large paper. Quality is very variable
according to image.  Very smooth tones show granularity, but there's
been NO fading or color changes at all.  I have a few prints made on
that paper that have outstanding blacks, about as good as the EAM paper. 
Sharpness is not quite as good as on coated papers, but it is fine for
most subjects.
What usually doesn't work well is smooth gray skies. They tend to be
grainy, but again, for some reason, not ALways. 

The paper is definitely worth experimenting with because of its quality
and low price.
Even though it is called "Bright" white, it isn't really white. It is
creamy colored.

Jerry
