Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,

So far I've been happy with Hahnemuhle Photo Rag for my QT printwork, 
but I'd like something cheaper for proofing that resembles PR, at 
least in the same ballpark. Any suggestions?

Many TIA, Jeffrey

EAM is very close to PR in appearance and much less expensive.   I've
found that if it looks good on EAM it works on PR.  This my favorite
combination.  I use MIS inks.

Thanks, Clayton.

I've been meaning to ask, what is EAM? It's all over the group but I 
don't know. I'm still new at this.

Many thanks, Jeffrey

Is it Epson Archival Matte?
