Digital BW, The Print

In addition to the whispers about Hahnemühle price increases, it also
seems they are discountinuing the White Velvet. A big disapointment as
people here were finally picking up on it.
I was recently a guest at Bill Atkinson's studio. He has no use for
the matte and art papers, seeking maximum gamut and dmax. In fact, I
don't believe he has even profiled them for the x800 printer.
However, when going through some of my quad prints, he stopped on one
made with White Velvet impressed by the black and even pulled out a
spectro to measure it.
Prints on this paper are very impressive, and there is none other like
it. I'm sorry to see it go so soon, I don't think it was given a chance.

Constant materials turnover is going to be an issue for us. It was
with silver, but not at this rate.
