Re: [Digital BW] Epson papers and ACID

2001-11-12 by mh@toomanyartists.com

As far as I have been told by many people,  ALL epson papers have acid except for the 
Fine Art Smooth (and rough) made by Crane.

Epson watercolor will probably be one of the first to go bad down the line (in years) and 
should not be used for any prints that you are selling.
