Re: [Digital BW] Arches Bright White Hot or Cold

I think it was the cold. The Hot Pressed papers are smoother, no? The stuff I bought is VERY stiff and thick. Lots of texture too. But not expensive. 25 sheets of 22x30 inches was $58.00. It doesn't do well with smooth, even grays, as they look pretty grainy. If you have really fine detail in your image, you wouldn't use this paper. Jerry allentakichi@... wrote:
