Great new paper (UK)
2005-02-15 by scrber
I always struggle to get hold of a decent paper, the range is so much less than the US guys over the pond seem to have. Anyway, I have recently been trying a new company www.papermilldirect.com (I'm not affiliated in any way blah blah blah....) Particularly two papers, Impart Soft Textured - this is a 315gm 100% cotton rag - no optical brighteners, texture almost identical to PhotoRag - plus it's about half the price! Prints so far are superb, seems to be less flaking than I've had on the 308PR, tones and Dmax seem visually indistiguishable, shadow definition seems slightly better if anything, but these are unscientific judgements. The second paper in the Impart high white smooth. This is a very smooth, very white paper, as per the description. Also 315gm 100% cotton, but with OBs, smoother than EEM, but only just. They also have these in rolls, sheets and pre-bonded to board. All in all, very impressed and their support has been superb. Worth a try given the price. Steve
