Digital BW, The Print

Martin, 

there were (at least) two points to my post. First, find out how 
extensive the color shift has been, second to state that I haven't 
had a shift in a less-than-perfect envionment. From the recent 
postings I wouldn't sell a print on EAM, but do think it is good for 
work prints - proofing, portfolio. I don't know that is is much better 
than the Epson Heavyweight Matte for that use, though, which for 
me is less expensive and more readily available.

Anything else is special order, and I can at least find Hahnemühle 
and Somerset papers in the EU, so no extraordinary taxes or 
shipping costs. Until I find a paper with the DMax and velvet 
surface of EAM, I'll be using Torchon for prints I expect to stay 
around for a while. The search is interesting for me as well.
