  Makes some sense of course. Anything that widens the scale from paper
white to ink black
  would help. On the other hand, sometimes some paper/ink just seem to have
less life than
  others for reasons hard to quantify.

  I had no idea they dropped White Velvet, recently bought a bunch. Jimmy
Doyle could tell
  us more, it's still on his site.
  I do use mostly H papers, but am moving toward some of the Innova paers as
well. I'm
  trying to drop PhotoRag entirely in favor of Innova PhotoSmooth. They are
nearly
  indistinguishable, with Innova perhpas a bit less flakey, and perhaps less
pricey
  stranglehold on the market. I'll test this new Crane also.
  Personally I don't like these smooth papers, but clients do, so I must
carry them.
  Without White Velvet I would begin testing the VFA again, they have
certain similarities,
  and you and others are reporting good results.
  But how it does with Piezotones is my concern. Before White Velvet we had
nothing bright
  white with a pretty tooth, so it's a good option.
