Digital BW, The Print

Hi John,
            "Somerset Velvet Enhanced" made by St. Cuthberts Mill in Wells Somerset is surface coated in just the same way as "William Turner" the longevity tests we have done indicate that the diference is that whilst the coating on WT has more initial punch the longevity of the SVE as printable papers is much longer (Blue Wool 7) before yellowing starts.

That's been my expreience also for several years with Somerset with either color or 
monochrome. It is a nice paper for delicate color work or soft black and white work where 
real dmax isn't needed. It must have something to do with the absorbant nature of the 
paper and the coating that is down in that soft cotton paper.

For textured prints I use William Turner which I think is a great paper, significantly 
textured but with a crisp black and sharp resolution. Somerset if very durable though.
