Re: [Digital BW] Regard: Flaking Ultrachrome

2003-01-28 by Carolyn Frayn

I've always used my drafting brush, as I said, tried the cotton, but 
didn't like it.  For Well's River and German Etching the brush works 
fine for me.

Maybe I've just been lucky, but in all the epsons and with all the inks 
I've used I've never seen epson papers flake until now, with the 2200.

I've just started with Photorag myself.
