Digital BW, The Print

I doubt the "archival" nature of any bright white paper, but so far
the two alpha-cellulose (not cotton) bright whites that I've used have
avoided yellowing and are just as bright as EEM. One is Moab Kayenta
and the other is the house brand from inkjetart.com Both are double
sided and very cheap. I like Kayenta especially in 11X17 where the
slight grain is less obvious. Both are marketed as "proofing papers"
for more expensive alternatives.
