Digital BW, The Print

Paul -

Thanks for the tips.  Looks like SemiMatte sheets are only available
in 17x22 format.  Looking at Amazon, 25 17x22 sheets are $73 - a fair
bit cheaper than Epson direct or other sources I've seen.  I've
ordered some to try.  Cutting it down to either 11x17 or 8.5x11 (at
$0.73/sheet) makes it a really economical solution.  Based on the
Wilhelm site, it doesn't look like it has quite the same archival
properties as other choices, but 133 year display life under UV
protection or >200 dark storage is pretty impressive :-).

As far as the Kirkland product - I've never really liked the look of a
full glossy print in monochrome, but if a project comes up where
that'd be appropriate, I'll keep that in mind - thanks.  Is the
Kirland paper stable / archival?
