Re: [Digital BW] Clayton: alpha cellulose paper?

2005-10-23 by djon43

Tim, thanks. Good to see that updated (Oct 15 05)...

I recall Clayton expressing some subjective enthusiasm about one of
the alpha cellulose papers here....am hoping to hear a nutshell
recommendation from him again, as I imagine he's been staying on top
of the issue. 

I also use Moab Kayenta (pre-folded cards)...very bright white, a
sometimes-more-attractive alternative to EEM.

Yes...and/but the air-dried-gloss silver papers that we admire have
the archival advantage of a heavy baryta (clay) coating...

...am I correct that there aren't any inkjet papers with baryta?
