Digital BW, The Print

> On the paper front:
>
> Received my shipment of the Schoellershammer Velvet 225 from Digital
> Art Supplies and ran of 4 Piezo test prints using the Orwell,
> Concorde Rag, ConeTech Matte and Epson Photo Paper profiles.
>
> I find it to be very similar to Museo with comparable blacks and
> color. The surface is smoother, about halfway between Epson Archival
> Matte and Museo. It should coat very nicely and I will give it a try.
> The base color is perhaps a little whiter than Museo. Seems to be not
> quite as sharp as Museo.
>
> Leaving EAM aside because of the archival issues, my favorites are
> still Torchon, with German Etching and Turner in second place. Of
> course with a sheet price of $4 for 11x17 Torchon I don't know how
> much I will be using! Torchon with the Schoellershammer Velvet
> surface would be just about perfect for the pigment inks.
>
> Digital Art Supplies shipped me a nice set of swatches, which
> included Hahnemule Structure 150. This looks like a whiter, lower
> textured lightweight version of Torchon, perhaps too light. Has
> anyone given this a try with Piezo? Opinions?
>
> I also noted that Digital Art Supplies carries the full Hahnemule
> line under their original names and a very large selection of other
> papers as well.

> Thanks,
