This is the holy grail of photo papers, if it turns out to be archival as the
others. It is about twice as thick as Aspen, thicker than Epson Archival, 2 or
3 shades whiter than epson Archival, and makes a gorgeous print for those who
like a really white paper. It is beautiful! Tis a shame you don't like the
brilliant white, which of course goes even farther in making the blacks look
deeper! If it makes it through 2 months in a sunny window with MIS variable
tone inks, It will be my main paper, and Royal Riviera will be the other one.
Those two will do it for me.
