Re: How does William Turner compare to PhotoRag?

2004-05-09 by Tyler Boley

I've seen it described as smooth too, very misleading. It's probably
the coarsest tooth I've seen on a coated inkjet paper. It's not
whitened like PhotoRag so not as bright, but not nearly as warm as
German Etching. Given all that, it's my favorite paper. Dmax like
PhotoRag, without the card-like smooth surface and screaming white, it
has a character that adds in a way I like. Looks beautiful with
Steve's Xray floral images, particularly large, and I like it for
straight large format landscapes. The surface does not take away from
fine detail.
If only that tooth were knocked down a bit, more like Somerset, it
just might be perfect.
