Arches Bright White Hot or Cold

Jerry, So did you buy the Hot or Cold as originally released? Can you compre the two of them? The Geletin I'm talking about is the internal sizing and so they are obviously both uncoated papers.

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:
