Digital BW, The Print

For 8x10s I used EEM but the stock is a bit thin.  Again, for this this 
paper didn't have
time to buckle when absorbed water from the coat.  I even didn't have to 
tape the bottom.
I wouldn't try it for the bigger size.  I print up to 13x19.  The rod I 
ordered has 20" of the
wired length so I put the paper sideways, tape the longer edge, and go.
I used a few Red River Paper products.  My best pick being 65 lb Red 
River Premium Matte
(244 gsm - 12 mil).  They have even thicker paper which reproduces well, 
 but it's a bit too
yellow for my taste.  I  haven't tried yet any of the acclaimed 
Hahnemühle papers, but
probably I will end up with them doing my next show.  
Hope it helps,
Jack
