Digital BW, The Print

Cold Press is quite a nice paper. 'bit rough and chunky but pretty good 
tonality + warmer tone and good dMax and form. The nice thing about 
these sheets is that the emulsion bends outwards and not inwards making 
it really great to run through large-format printers without jamming 
problems.  And it smells like tooth-past . . . . I'm working on some 
color tests this week, more on this later.

take care, walker
