Re: alpha cellulose paper?

We have a nice acid-free/lignin-free alphacellulose paper called Grayhawk. Several of the prints we were exhibiting last week during PhotoPlusExpo were on Grayhawk, including one of our b/w winners. It is about 1/4 the price of our cotton papers. http://www.hawkmtnartpapers.com/grayhawk.htm Diana York 888-807-2248 Hawk Mountain Papers www.hawkmtnartpapers.com

Clayton...some time ago you commented favorably on your experience with alpha cellulose-type paper (source? name?). I've recently used a lot of Illuminata Alpha (www.inkjetart.com), a very cheap alpha cellulose paper...closely matches Illuminata Ultrasmooth (100% cotton, no whiteners, slightly-cream) at half the price (and it's two sided). Anyhow, this stuff is beautiful with portraits, would be deliverable except that solid black areas have an odd glistening/textured effect when views from an angle...unlike Ultrasmooth (or EEM) the surface texture evidently isn't 100% matte. Clayton, have you continued to use alpha-cellulose? With your brand, have you observed the black phenom I mentioned above? What's your thinking about its longevity?
