personally, I don't like it... it's like someone took EAM and turned it into a slightly watercolour textured paper. It isn't a particularly heavy weight paper doesn't have a nice watercolour paper feel to me. I guess if the folks are looking for something to buy locally it might be difficult to find a good paper. I'm guessing you are printing B&W/quads? You could try some of the Premier Fine Art hot pressed. Different weights, lovely to print on - very nice for quad prints. Very slightly off-white/creamy compared to say Photo Rag. Cheapest from photowarehouse.biz but also at inkjetart.com - prices probably closer to the Epson watercolour I just downloaded some profiles for colour printing with the 2200 for photorag and I've found they also work very well with this - lovely colour prints (they profiles are great with the photorag too). tim > -----Original Message----- > From: D.
