Digital BW, The Print

Hi!

Picked up a package of Legion Photo Matte locally today. First thing 
I did, after noting the smoooooth surface, was to check it with my pH 
pens.

Front: Lineco - Purple, Light Impressions - Blue
Core: Lineco - Purple, Light Impressions - Blue
Back: Lineco - Purple, Light Impressions - Blue

In other words the ph is neutral or above as advertised.

Heavier, smoother and whiter than EAM. Cost me $0.36 per sheet at

The one draw back I see is that it may be too white. Not the lavender 
white of Hahnemule Photo Matte (aka ConeTech Matte) but in that 
direction. Side by side with the other papers it is so cool it seems 
to have a hint of blue. But if you prefer a more neutral tone this 
appears to help get you there. Need to see what happens to the tone 
over the next few days.

May be a little less sharp than Torchon. Blacks equal to Torchon or a 
bit better. With the white base the overall range is greater.
