Re: [Digital BW] Costco paper... be careful!

2004-11-22 by Douglas Meeuwsen

I think there must be a way to find out what the swiss paper actually 
is. Isnt there only one photo paper company in switzerland? It probaly 
is also sold under several names. It looks like regular glossy paper on 
the front, not too glossy, but more glossy that cheap epson glossy. 
When you spray the costco with print sheild, it is a bit less glossy, 
which is almost a good thing, although a lot of images prob dont need 
to be sprayed......but either way, the paper is nice to feel, and 
mainly, the best thing is that the image looks real good. As good as 
photo rag let's say. Of course they wont last forever, but probably for 
headshots and such, plenty long enough! Right now i cant remember if 
the box i got says anything on the back, but think it was blank. That 
seems weird if i am following paul right when he says that his said 
epson on the back......hmmmm....if it said epson, wouldnt that mean 
that is an epson paper? that we can get somewhere else?.....but at five 
times the price?......keep you posted DM
