Digital BW, The Print

Ernst, I have replaced HPR with it on my 7900. It is MUCH less flake prone, and everything I loved about HPR I now love in the Canson. It's not that much cheaper, but worth it for the durability factor alone. 

I haven't used it with b&w/3mk on my old 1800 yet but would like to. I'm currently printing with ABW on my 7900 and liking it but would still prefer a carbon approach. I think b&w images on this paper could be stunning with that set-up. 

No tech data for you, but I love the paper!

Sarah
