Re: [Digital BW] Arches Bright White Hot or Cold?
2001-08-01 by Jerry Olson
The interesting thing about arches bright white is the deep blacks you can get on it, and it is UNcoated. Archival, of course. No, there wasn't 2 kinds at first. The stuff I bought has a very heavy texture, so fine detail is lost. The smoother stuff would probably be just right, IF you could still get the good blacks. Jerry allentakichi@... wrote:
