Re: [Digital BW] 100% Rag Paper Sharpness

2003-06-17 by Robert Morrison

Hahnemuhle Photo Rag.  This paper is frequently rebranded with other  
names, but it is carried by most of the major internet venders. Check  
www.digitalartsupply.com, www.inkjetart.com, www.inkjetmall.com and  
www.mediastreet.com just to name a few...they all have it.  It has  
lightly more tooth than EAM, similar gamut and blacks, and fewer  
optical brighteners.  It is 100% rag.
