Digital BW, The Print

is it really what good????<G>

It's darn tootin' good. Base hue similar to WillyT, textured but a bit less granular, gamut and densities in line with other good inkjet papers, no OBs, per the big H-
"in compliance with DIN 6738, ISO 9706, ANSI Z 39.48-1992
are acid free with a pH value between 7.5 and 9.5,
have been buffered against environmental pollution according to DIN 9706
with a 4% calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content."

for what that's worth...
Prints look nice, and more importantly, the paper was totally appropriate for this project, don't you think? In fact, given the work and intent, it seemed almost impossible to NOT use it...
I had run some quick tests months ago, and John Dean convinced me to give it another try, thankfully.

Bamboo is very nice too, slightly different look, perhaps a bit more gamut and dmax, and also "green", at least compared to many other papers...

I'm not really the official printer, just for 2 of the shows, Daniel has been remarkably supportive and loyal and uses me when he has any say in the matter. I don't know how the other shows were produced.
