Re: Use of watercolor paper for printing

2005-05-04 by dlruckus

Hi Tim.

Another paper you might consider for this is the uncoated Somerset
Velvet. It can give highly satisfying results with either B&W or color.
Utilising Black only printing, it can also give nice photographic
detail as well.
Doing what you wish will take a bit of experimenting but is not difficult.

Regards.
Duane
