Digital BW, The Print

Hi Andy, I've not seen any fading of VM inks in room lighting on any
paper. They haven't been out two years yet. In the sunny window tests,
the cool and cold curves don't change much at all in 2 months.
That's good enough for me. These inks seem more stable than any others
in that window test. I still like the Archival matte and Epson
Watercolor papers a lot, and still use them. Eclipse is also a wonderful
paper. If you print under high humidity conditions most any thin paper
gets waves and buckles. Eclipse paper comes in 350 gsms, (velvet),  300
and 190 gsms (Satine). This paper goes through the 1160's without
problems, and also the 1280. One side is slightly textured, and the
other is smoother. You can print on both sides. Also very reasonably
priced. 100 percent cotton rag, pH neutral.
