Re: [Digital BW] Silver Rag substitute

2006-04-29 by Carl Schofield

Innova F-Type has an alpha cellulose base (as will the new  
Hahnemuhle Pearl product).  I have no problem using alpha celluose vs  
cotton, as long as it is acid free.  I think most of the fiber base  
silver gelatin papers used alpha cellulose as well.
