Digital BW, The Print

For those of you who are looking for a replacement for Epson Archival Matte, you might
want to try Legion Photo Matte. It is slightly heavier than Epson Archival matte (230
Gsm, versus Epson's 190 Gsm), just a little bit whiter than the Epson, and prints as
far as I can tell, virtually identical to Epson Archival Matte, (Same settings), and as
a bonus, the black is a tiny bit darker than epson, I'd say equal to Torchon or Royal
Riviera. I got 2 sheets in a Sample pack, but the 25 sheets I ordered hasn't arrived
yet. It is a little more expensive than the epson, but not a lot.

Jerry,

Do you know if Legion Photo Matte is 100% Rag and is it acid free?

The Legion page says "100% alpha cellulose (Sulphite Paper), white, 
special matte coating for inkjet printing. Yields outstanding 
contrast and high color resolution."

Mike

Jerry,

Did you order direct from Legion or another distributor?

Mike

Mike,

Just a note from going through some of the material at Abbey Press. A 
100% alpha cellulose paper that is lignin (wood fiber) free and 
buffered is as good archivally as rag.
