Good online source for Premier Art Dual Matte paper

Good online source for Premier Art Dual Matte paper

2005-06-11 by Scott McLoughlin

Paul Roark mentions this paper in his overview of the C86, and
I'd like to try it. I've scoured via Google, but can't seem to turn
up a supplier of this paper.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Scott

See http://www.photowarehouse.biz/premier.html for the Premier Art Premium
Matte paper.  It's at the bottom of the list there.  I believe this is the
same paper that they labeled as "Dual" matte in a beta test pack to me.  The
"dual" was probably just to highlight that it was coated on both sides.  An
acid-free paper with a dmax better than EEM and price about the same as EEM
seems like a good deal.  

My recollection is that it is very bright and prints cold -- which the BO
prints might like.  I also found it was very sharp -- which is a mixed bag.
The bad news in this is that it makes dots stand out more than on most
papers.  The UT-FS-Y option for UT2 and UT7 printers might make a visible
difference with the paper.

I bought some from the photo warehouse. Their service was good.  The 
paper is nice, but it must have a ton of optical brighteners, as Paul 
has mentioned.  For color printing, I like EEM a little better, but the 
Premier Art Premium Matte paper might last longer before yellowing.

Pick your poison.  EEM will yellow from acid, the highly brightened papers
will yellow (lose their brightness) from the OBAs burning out.  The
brighteners burning out may not destroy the photo, but people will think it
is aging badly.

For photos I want to look good for a long time, a non-brightened paper like
Premier Art Hot Press 205 is what I'd use.

Why do they add OBA's in the first place, then? I don't understand
why someone doesn't make an acid/lignin/OBA free alpha cellulose
paper that's cheaper than cotton papers.

One would think there would be a decent market.

RE: [Digital BW] Good online source for Premier Art Dual Matte paper

Scott,

The paper manufactures add OBA's To make a whiter sheet of paper..White
sheets outsell warmer papers almost 5 to 1 why personal choice..

also If you goto my website and Look at the Innova Papers ..You can download
the spec sheets..
The Soft texture 315gsm & The Cold Press 315 gsm are both acid/lignin/OBA
free alpha cellulose papers..

If You have any questions about them call or email me anytime!

Hope This helps a Bit!

Because they always did in silver paper. It's not as big a point as
it's being made out. "Archival" was never much of an issue until Zone
VI found it could be used for marketing purposes.

There's no reason to make cheap paper. Why seek a cheap market?

Much like your washing powder.  Add some blue optical brighteners and your
