[Digital BW] Re: Non resin-coated glossy papers

2007-05-06 by Eleanor Brown

Gloss differential is very minimal using the K3 inks---best results in minimizing gloss 
differences of all these new fiber gloss papers.  Paper is very much like the silver papers I 
used to use.  Only problem--the base is too lightweight and the paper is flimsy and the 
price is out of the ball park ridiculous! Otherwise a great paper! Eleanor
