Tim,

I use Hahnemuhle Torchon, William Turner, German Etching, and Photo Rag. Right now my favorite is William Turner and Photo Rag. For large prints 24"x24" I love Torchon, but the texture is a bit too much for small prints. I mostly buy the papers from my local dealer in 37"x47 sheets. If I commit to at least 10 packs of 25 sheets, they will stock them for me and give me a substantial dicscount. They have a few other photographers that commit to 10-20 packs so in essence they can order in 50-100 pack orders.

The paper becomes very reasonable in price when purchased large and cut down as needed. If I need a small amount I purchase from MediaStreet.Com, very good prices and very nice people.

Yes, I have printed the duotone purple that you mentioned. The results are very nice, but I still get just a bit of crossover in the highlights.

Mike

  Mike 
  Which Hahnemuhle papers do you use and where do you get them? Have 
  you tried the canned duotone in PS6 that gives a very respectable 
  selenium-toned print? It is the last duotone of the black/purple.
