Hahnemuhle options

2009-07-18 by Tyler Boley

Due to Hahnemuhle's impending price hike, I'm curious of other here have come across papers with similar characteristics of HPR, Germans Etching, and William Turner.

One I can recommend as an HPR type alternative is Generations Alise Fine Art Paper.

Surface is nice, seems more robust than HPR, there is a natural and a bright white. Dmax with Epson MK ink is higher than HPR, and the gamut quite comparable, though with a RIP limits have to be handled carefully. With Jon Cone's inks dmax was a hair lower than HPR, but still up over 6, depending on setup.

Any other input would be great, thanks.
