Digital BW, The Print

Thank you, for the update.
The texture could be helping with the good black?  EVFA has the same coating
as EEM and the velvet black looks better to my eye.

Do I remember correctly that Shades Of Paper is going to carry Museo Max?

Best regards,
John Moody

I've a chance to do a bit more testing and have revised my opinion slightly.

I am finding this a very nice paper.

The texture is on the verge of being too much for me, but not quite (might
be an issue with lots of smoothy sky area in prints)

Other than that it does give very nice blacks - it has to be one of the best
two or three papers (using MIS ebony black).

Best of all I find it has a very neutral paper base. It is very slightly on
the warm side, but it probably gives the most "neutral" b&w/grey of nay
paper. I can't detect any tendency towards the horrible magentarism that
many paper base/coatings give under mixed light, nor any tendency towards
green. For me, along with the nice blacks that neutral nature of the paper
is a big plus.

I only got six sheets to try, so I can't do much more testing, but this
paper is in the top two or three for me. (if only it had slightly less
texture)
