Digital BW, The Print

Tyler,

If any of the prints are intended to be archival, most glossy papers are
acidic.  The Epson Premium line and the new Crane Silver Rag (and similar
Permajet [Innova?] versions) are exceptions I'm aware of.  For proofing,
Kirkland is the cheapest by far, and it may even be non-acidic.  I think the
finer grain finish of Epson Premium Semimatte is more pleasing than Luster,
and it's rather cheap in rolls.  You may find bronzing is still a problem
with many papers.  Spraying is one answer, but most don't want to bother.
