Digital BW, The Print

I've just tested a bunch of papers in order to find my "arsenal" and then
get them profiled properly etc.

Ended up with:

Canson Baryta
Canson Platine Fibre Rag
Hahnem�hle Harman Gloss Baryta

And for Matte, I went with

Canson Photographique Rag
Moab Entrada 190 Natural

Probably I'll add a one or two more papers but those were the ones I was
really stunned by and happy with.


Cheers
JF
