Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Fine Art Papers

2005-10-03 by Eric Ashworth

Hi Clay,

I've been using the HPR 188 gsm and have been quite happy with it,  
but have noticed the paper cockling (warping) when the ink is really  
heavy (mainly in dark areas), and have been planning on going to the  
heavier weight.

As to recommendations, I think your best bet is going to be ordering  
some of the sample packs and trying out the papers for yourself. You  
can get them through most suppliers, such as  
www.shadesofpaper.com     www.inkjetart.com     www.atlex.com  etc.  
They're usually pretty reasonable costwise and will generally contain  
a range of papers. From what I've heard, Moab, Innova, HawkMountain,  
Crane and others all have excellent papers, so it really is going to  
be a matter of what flavor of ice cream you prefer ;-P

Hope this helps,

Eric
