Re: Japanese/rice-type paper?

2008-05-17 by Joost Horsten

Just received my Moenkopi Unruo 55 and Kozo 110 papers from 
Lifefoto.de (very quick btw!).

A first impression: both seem to be very nice papers, albeit rather 
warm. Personally I would liked to have them a bit whiter, but it may 
work out. Unryu has a very visible fiber structure. Nice, but to my 
taste too dominant for normal use, will be great for an occaisional 
effect. Kozo is much more subtle, slight texture, bit transparant. 
This is what I was looking for (apart from its warmth).

From the image on their site, Hiromipaper seems to offer a whiter 
version of a similar paper, IJ-0462 Aya White, but only delivered in 
single sheet (A2) versions, which makes this rather expensive, that 
on top of shipment costs to Europe. Phoenix in South Carolina was 
also suggested, but I can't find these papers on their website.

I will do some test with the Moenkopi Kozo paper, but I remain 
interested in a whiter version, preferably but not necessary from a 
Eurpean supplier. Any further suggestions?
