Digital BW, The Print

Hi Bob,

I've used a LOT of EAM in the past, now EEM, and the color of the paper 
was always close, but sometimes a
batch was a little creamier color than others. I think maybe I'm picking 
nits here. Both are probably
within manufacturing tolerances. I doubt anyone but a really picky 
person would notice.  Legion's photo matte is
still one of the nicest bright white papers, and Photo rag is still 
probably the best warm paper. As long as I
don't print a snow scene on it, The hahnemule papers are tops. Just be 
sure to rub them down before printing so they
don't flake... You'd think Hahnemuhle would have solved this problem by now.
