Digital BW, The Print

Eclipse Satine is a great, 100 percent rag, acid free, pH neutral paper,
pure white, nicely textured on one side and smooth on the other,
printable on either side, and not too expensive.  Any of the Hahnemuhle
papers are great. Either the MIS archival color or VM hex inks are
great, as well as Generations 4 from Media Street. Rated to 100 years by
Kodak at RIT.
