Digital BW, The Print

I really like Canson Rag Photographique, which is similar to HPR.
Photographique is the sharpest matte paper I've ever used. I'm getting a
Dmax of 1.63 with a custom Cone curve and K7 Special Edition inks. The paper
has a nice weight and is reasonably priced.

I'm also using Canson BFK Rives. It is slightly warmer, and has a very nice,
yet subtle, texture. Dmax with Cone curve and K7 is 1.59.

Canson also makes an etching paper, along with a number of other textured
offerings.

Terry.
