Digital BW, The Print

Hello Joost,

>But it should be matte.

The physically toughest matte paper I've tested, by far, is Museo Max
by InteliCoat.  You can't scrape the ink off with a thumbnail, really
amazing.  It's a beautiful thick cotton archival paper.  It's main
drawback is not as good a dmax as HPR.

You can read more about it in article #5 "The Great Paper Chase" at
the link below.
