Digital BW, The Print

Hi Richard,
     I've used Permajet Matt Plus and found it to be very similar to
Epson HWM, but maybe a little brighter and just a tad heavier.  The
color balance seems to be just a tad warmer also.  Overall, I liked it
better then HWM myself, and it is similar enough.
     I also ordered a Permajet sampler from MIS a while back, and while
some of the papers are nice, I didn't find most of them smooth enough
for good detail in smooth tones of people pictures.  The Matte Plus and
Portrait Classical are my favorites and the exceptions, having the
smoothest surfaces.  The Portrait Classic is really very nice, very
expensive also.

Thanks,
Ed
