Re: Breathing Color Sterling Rag Paper

2006-11-19 by Manuel Toledo Quinones

Hi Richard,

If you do get to try the BC paper, would you mind posting your 
opinion? I browsed Yahoo's EpsonWideFormat group and found several
messages that refer to BC papers. 

It seems that the company have a strong focus towards high volume
customers. I wonder if they will ship to small guys like me. This, and
the big claims that they make in their web site about their papers,
make me have doubts about ordering from them. 

Recently I ordered some Natural Aurora from Red River. I liked the
service. Its $60 for 50 sheets of 13"x19" - I think a good deal for a
non-oba, acid-free paper. Since it is double sided you can reuse the
proofs and save some extra money. I also tried and liked very much
their Polar satin, but it is not archival - RR rates this paper at 35
years, un-protected. I wonder what does this mean for a framed image
under glass, and how does it compares to Epson Lustre. 

Best wishes,

Manuel
