Digital BW, The Print

djon43, I don't have a list of clay papers, but I have known of several over
the years that I have been involved in printing. I don't spend energy
looking these aspects up. 

 

But if you wish, try this on google, "clay coating for ink jet papers" and
you'll find information regarding clay coating and ink jet paper.

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Micro Ceramic Lustre Vs (presumably) Harman

 

Eric, 

Harman asserts they're alone with baryta. 

Is some clay other than baryta used? 

Baryta's only advantage vs other clays(the reason Kodak used it for
Kodabromide)was its natural whiteness. It was called "pipeclay" in the
Royal Marines of the 18th century, used to whiten uniforms (just a tidbit)

The "fineness" would be irrelevant, since it's ground to whatever
degree is necessary.

If you know other papers that use clay, please name them. 

It'd be interesting to compare.
