Re: Lyson Smooth Fine Art

2010-02-24 by john

I thought "classic velour" was German Etching? :-).  Remember back in the day when we used to use those papers on the old Epson 1200s and they were so thick the printers used to kick them back out 5 or 6 times before it would accept it? How things have changed and we even have pigments now. LIfe is not all bad.

The only confusion is "smooth", not how I'd refer to German Etching as there are smoother papers, and I don't recall it as part of that name before. Also, there are no strictly 300gsm H papers, though they may just be rounding...
