Re: [SPAM][Digital BW] Paper option similar to Hahnemuhle PhotoRag 308

2008-04-27 by Richard Smallfield

I like Entrada Natural 300gsm - no optical brighteners at all. Marginally more texture than Photorag, double-sided, less bright white.

It's great for BW - if you plan to use if for colour however, I would go for Epson Velvet (but it's single-sided) or Entrada Bright as the cream colour tends to kill the colour.

As an unbrightened paper it has excellent stability - in a three month window test I did it actually bleached slightly, unlike brightened papers that go more cream.

If you want it for book printing however, surely papers in the 300gsm weight would be too heavy? Entrada also comes in 190gsm double-sided which might be more suitable.
