Re: Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Satin

2005-06-21 by chipcarterdc

Yeah, I thought that the "textured sheen" might be more obtrusive in prints 
with large areas of smooth continuous tones (deep black, a person's face, 
etc).  That's why I'd love to see a smooth version of this paper.   They now 
have "regular" (textured) Photo Rag and "smooth" Photo Rag, so hopefully it's 
just a matter of time before they have a smooth and textured version of Photo 
Rag Satin too (I hope).  

I'd also love to see a lower price -- $250 for a 50 sheet box of 17x22 is pretty 
expensive.  Rolls are cheaper, of course, but I don't relish the thought of trying 
to de-curl a paper this thick.

Despite all the above, I probably will go ahead and buy a 17x20 box because, 
for at least certain images, this paper is tough to beat.
