Digital BW, The Print

I think it is a very good paper and sets the stage for a new way of
looking at glossy inkjet media. I don't think it is perfect, and the
texture could be improved a bit to provide less glare without having
to spray it, but I was trying not to nit pick at a very interesting
direction started here in the movement away from rc surfaces. I think
the glossy level is just fine as far as that goes.   

I would write Crane through their website to ask these questions. As
far as we know it is 100% cotton rag with no oba content. Not sure
about added buffers. Nobody knows about longevity yet. We're waitning
like you are.

for a new paper. From all the recent comments on the Crane Silver Rag,
especially those of John Dean, this is by far the leading candidate.
Performance seems exactly right for me but I haven't noticed any
comments about permanence. Is the paper 100% cotton? Is it acid-free?
Maybe buffered? Does it contain optical brighteners? Does anyone out
there know the answers to these questions? A lot of us would like to
hear them.
