Digital BW, The Print

Today I find out that The "New" Arches 
Bright White comes in Both Hot or Cold.  
Initial tests with the Spectratones showed a 
very good black point with limited bleed.

So I order some and the next batch is very so 
so on printing but I figure that it's just the 
paper batch.  I now have it that the hot press 
(of course I ordered the cold press) has more 
Gelatin in it and therefore prints much better.

Can anyone confirm the general printing 
charecteristics of the Arches Bright White 
Hot verses Cold or Hot verses Cold in 
general for same brand watercolor papers?

When it first came out there were some good 
threads on the Bright White but I don't think 
that there were two versions then.

Thanks,

Allen
