Paper comparison

Paper comparison

2003-01-31 by Truman Prevatt

I'm about to buy paper again. I am looking for peoples experiences. I am 
currently using Somerst Phot Enhanced Velvet (225 gsm). I am very please 
with the crisp white of the paper stock. On this paper the highlights 
glow and shadow detail is very good. I also like that this paper prints 
slightly cool.  However I am not real happy that it doesn't have a lot 
of deep black.

How does this paper compare to Photo Rag across the board - highlight 
rendering, base brightness, shadow detail and black. I may just by a 
couple boxes of both and compare but any input would be appreciated.
