Re: Can You Identify This Paper

2006-12-28 by Clayton Jones

Hello Eddie,

>EEM - whiter paper based on the borders
>Mys - warmer paper based on the unprinted borders
>EEM - cooler or more newtral skin tone
>Mys - warmer skin tone
>EEM - thinner paper
>Mys - roughly double the thickness and stiffer
>EEM - physically feels smoother and looks smoother texture
>Mys - physically feels and looks rougher textured.  not a pattern but 
>randomized texture like drywall
>EEM - blacks are black
>Mys - blacks are far deeper and blacker like a deep dark velvet

It's hard to say without knowing what inks were used in each case. 
The paper color is what it is of course, but both the image tone and
dmax can vary in either direction depending on the ink.

If the inks were the same and the same settings were used in each
case, then it might be William Turner.  Given the same inks, there
aren't too many papers I can think of that would have all of these
attributes compared to EEM: warmer in paper color, warmer in ink tone,
thicker, textured, and better dmax (see article #5 at the link below
for descriptions of about 25 matte papers).

But, again, without knowing the inks it could be many things.

Clayton
