papers (again)

2002-12-07 by Truman Prevatt

I tried a few prints (1280 hextones) on Somerset Photo Enhanced. I do 
like this  much better than EAM. It seems whiter,  has a lot more zap 
and better tonality in the mid ranges and seems a little cooler. 

The thing I don't really like about it is the "pebbley" finish. I can 
live with maybe for portrats, but for other work I would like something 
with a little flatter surface. Any suggestions on an alternative?
