I try to remove the permanence question from the conversation by using papers that have been rated by Wilhelm. In other words start from the end and work back. What papers have been tested and, of those papers, which ones fit my artistic vision? Only after concluding that none of the rated papers is a match would I venture into the unrated papers. It's already hard enough to sell our work at a good price, why add to the difficulty? I recognize that this is a pretty commercial approach but there are so many rated papers that it is rarely necessary to compromise artistic vision for commerce.
