Digital BW, The Print

The yellowing of EAM has been discussed in this forum for many months.

I have found that PhotoRag is very close to EAM, requiring very
little, if any, change.  It is also widely regarded as one of the best
cotton papers.  When I first got into this I tried samples of all the
then available papers and liked PR the best.  It was a happy
coincidence that it is nearly identical to EAM in tonality, so I use
EAM for proofing and PR for final prints.
