Re: Air fiber based vs. current photo papers

2005-06-06 by Tim Atherton

Yes, the discontinued Epson Pro Glossy was certainly the closest in look and
surface feel (though not in "overall" paper feel and heft).

Air Dried glossy has a sort of slightly glossier than eggshell texture and
surface to it - if that makes sense...

Now, I'm interested to try the new version of Photo Rag (Satin) that is
"supposed" to turn to a sort of semi-glossy surface when printed, with the
cotton rag base. Apparently though, they sold all their supply/first run to
one dealer and no one else can get it....

Said by some to give a sort of air dried FB look and feel - we'll see
