Steadman et al,

I use duotones to print my B/W. It is a selenium-tone effect. I like 
a textured paper that produces deep blacks and rich grays. The 
torchon that I use is great but for some images the texture is too 
much. Do you have any suggestions for textured papers that might be 
suitable. I like fairly heavy papers. 2 that interest me are 
Hahnemuhle 230 and Albrecht Durer. The Legion Matte you and Jerry 
like so much sounds great but is likely too smooth for my needs. Any 
suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Regards

Tim

Tim,

As you optimize your workflow and materials with the duotone process 
(CYMK color ink set to print monochrome) please give us an update and 
your recommendations.
