Re: 5x7 F-type or glossy papers?

2007-11-18 by djon43

When you say "F-type" are you saying you want a true high gloss or are
you saying you want air-dried look? 

Moab Colorado Fiber Satine and Moab Colorado Fiber Gloss are both
wonderful for the air dried look...Satine's my favorite with
2200...unfortunately Fiber Gloss seems prone to mechanical abrasions
in my 2200...  higher gloss than Fiber Satine and more texured). 

If you want a true high gloss packaged in 5X7 try Costco Kirkland,
available in that size the last time I looked, cheap, excellent in all
respects...with 2200/OEM anyway.
