Digital BW, The Print

I think when they said HM Baryta they were talking about the 
Hahnenmuhle paper which is related to the highly speckly Fine Art 
Pearl.

I think the Harmon FB Baryta Al is more like a gloss paper than the 
other fiber-type ones I've tried.  My 8.5x11 sheets also curl a bit 
after printing.  It's quite nice for color but for B&W I still like 
the Innova White Semi-Matte 300.
