Digital BW, The Print

Kevin, I use polar matte as a proofing paper. I have made calendars with it
and while that looked quite nice, I hardly expect to see them framed on
someone's wall. : ) 

 

I picked up some Aurora last time I stopped in to Red River. I am lucky to
have them close by to avoid shipping charges. I don't know why it doesn't
look as nice for you. Perhaps, you can try a little more sharpening or more
color saturation. I used it to test a digital capture that I made with a
friend's D1X of a butterfly that my daughter had found on our passion vines;
a magnet for butterflies and their eggs. 

 

I have not yet put it to any great tests for its double sided abilities.

Polar matte does stand up well to abrasion but no double sided printing.

Eric

Are you using the Polar Matte for proofing or some good stuff too?

I've used the Polar Matte in the past and I thought it was good, too.

Have you ever tried the Red River Aurora Art? I'm using it for the "good
stuff" (double 
sided) and I find it nice, but I wish it were as smooth as the EEM. 

The sad truth is that I have to do some color work for my wife's
scrapbooking, and I find 
that the Aurora Art just doesn't look as nice as the EEM. Maybe the Polar
Matte would be a 
good choice for color scrapbooking images?
