Digital BW, The Print

Hello Salongo,

>>>>>>>>
I had some Canson 9x12 Bristol 100# water color pads for pencil, ink
and dry media, which feels and looks like a heavy version of EEM.
After shooting the pencil drawing in Raw and doing a little clean up
in CS2, I printed on the water color paper using QTR with the EEM-Cool
curve . When laid next to a one printed on EEM you could not tell the
difference, except for the paper color. The ink dries and does not rub
off or flak off. The Epson is white and the Canson has a slight warm
off white.
>This paper is about $4.72 a 15 sheet pack at WalMart, which is about
32¢ a sheet and you can print on both sides. It feeds with no problem
through the sheet feed top. As far as longevity I have no idea but it
is a acid free uncoated water color paper. 
>My set up is...Epson 2200 QTR and BO printing 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thanks for posting this, it sounds like a good paper.  When I was
doing BO with a 2200 I experimented with some art papers, and also
printed some scans of pen/ink drawings and etchings. I was pleasantly
surprised at how well BO worked on uncoated papers.  With some images
the dot gain is a nice effect.  I still have some Arches hot press
watercolor paper on hand just waiting for the right image.  I'd like
to try this Canson paper, sounds like a harder surface with less dot gain.

Regards,
Clayton
