Digital BW, The Print

Goshawk is same base paper (15 mil, 100% cotton, acid free, bright white,
mouldmade) as Osprey, Peregrine, Aerie, & Talon. Coating was same
formulation, just applied in different manner. Goshawk has been discontinued
as we have improved technique since then. Goshawk printed bright colors
slightly better than Osprey, but Osprey printed better black. We still have
some sheet stock available, but when that is gone, Goshawk is extinct <G>.

Yes, inkjet receptive coatings can have calcium carbonate, silica, gelatin,
starch, PVA, clay, plus a myriad of other chemicals. George had replied
about coatings on the 9000 list, I believe, as he does not subscribe to this
or the leben list. We make 2 coatings at present (Osprey & Merlin). Not sure
what in the Osprey coating makes it not waterproof. Will have to check that
out. We formulated our coatings to work well with pigment based inks to
provide the best color gamut and longevity possible. We don't market our
papers as waterproof or for outdoor applications. And we are working on new
papers and coatings all the time.
