Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul. Have you done any work or testing with the Somerset Velvet uncoated art paper. It has always gotten about the same d'max for me as has Arches. It is, however, vastly smoother on printing with none of the blotchy appearance Arches takes on and less bleed. I don't know how it would take to the washing process as I've not tried that. It's also very bright white for not having OBA content.

Regards
Duane
