Hahnamühle's Photo Rag is a bright white > 100% cotton rag, acid-free paper designed specially for optimum > photographic reproduction. Its D-max (black) depth and color saturation > performance is better than any fine art paper we have tested -- using > pigment or dye inks. > Actually, the really nice stuff is this: www.archesinfinity.com But it costs an arm and a leg Almost as nice and almost half the price is this http://www.premierimagingproducts.com/pdf/media/Premier_Art_Hot_Press.pdf http://www.premierimagingproducts.com/ Lovely stuff Best price here www.photowarehouse.biz Both are very very nice for colour and B&W (if you can get decent B&W from a 2200 - unless you are on a mac when there are free RIPs, Imageprint is about the only way). Epson is selling a version of the Fine Art Hot Pressed as their Ultrasmooth, but only in rolls so far. It has better longevity ratings than Ilfochrome - 75yrs display 200+ in dark storage (if you want to believe those things - at any rate, it's great for colour material) tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
