Digital BW, The Print

right, Classic Velour... That was the Luminos version of the same,  also Media Street Royal Plush? Don't remember them all, but all were rebranded big H papers. In fact, at first they did not sell under their own name...
One of the turning points in inkjet development was when Wilhelm came out with a rating of 75 yrs (if I recall) for Media Street Generations pigment ink on Royal Plush. Put all the previous ratings to shame, and Epson later came out with Ultrachrome pigment.
Ernst probably remembers all that too.
Damn we're old.

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...
