Re: [Digital BW] How to get bright white with quadtone ink set.

2002-12-18 by Robert Morrison

The new Red River Premium Matte is also a bright white and prints similarly
to EAM.  It is available in a 76lb (285gm) weight which I really like for
good quality...but perhaps not archival prints.  Its also available in
lighter weights as well and is priced competitively with EAM.
