Digital BW, The Print

I have had some success printing on Arches hot press.  See also http://www.inkjetart.com/watercolor_printing.html.  As you no doubt know, it is important to print on the smooth (sized) side.  With Arches, this is the side where you can read their logo.  I have also sized the paper myself, as you would do for say, gum printing.  It was pretty much a disaster, though the printer lived through it.  If you want to get artsy, you can also do a hand-torn edge.  Good luck!

  Subject: [Digital BW] Smooth uncoated paper?


  Does anyone know if there is a smooth, uncoated paper?  Perhaps one of the
  Arches cold or hot press papers?

  The reason I ask is that Somerset Velvet hits a dMax of over 1.9 with only
  two coats.  However, I'm not a fan of the textured look.  It might be
  interesting to see what a smooth uncoated paper would do.
