Re: Choosing a paper-Legion Matte

Hi Peter -- I love the USFA. I printed a difficult image on it the other day
and saw things in the print that I had never noticed before. I read
somewhere that it does have OBAs in it though, although Wilhelm lists it
without. Can't remember where I saw that. Hmmm. It's a lovely print however.
