Digital BW, The Print

Hello Koloshor,

>OK, which "very nice" drawing paper? 

In our local Jerry's Artarama I found a 9x12 sketch pad called
"Biggie" by Canson, with 125 sheets.  The sheets are acid free, with a
very smooth surface, slightly off-white in color, and while not
translucent, are thin enough that the underlying image shows through a
bit.  It has a nice look and feel that goes well with the white lining
of the box, and it's quick and easy to cut them down to size four at a
time with a rotary paper cutter.  

The thin tissue type sheets sold as interleave paper require you to
have a surgeon's skill and great care to manipulate them without
folding & wrinkling, etc.  Perfectly maddening.  This drawing paper is
much better and is not an annoying distraction when viewing the prints.


>Do you know anything with a translucent vellum or "glassine" look?

Nothing in particular, but there are probably some nice vellum drawing
papers out there that would do nicely.  You just have to go to a big
art supply with lots of choices and see what's there.

 
>And what boxes are you using these days.

I found some nice ones at a reasonable price at printfile.com (look
under "Archival Boxes and Accessories").  Black clamshell, white
lining, 1 3/8" deep.


Regards,
Clayton
