Digital BW, The Print

Hello

has someone tryed this new entry level paper from hahnemuhle?

it could be a good way to make archival proof prints a a lower cost than hpr 188.

reading the specs, this is not cotton but the paper is warm and contains very few Oba.

thanks

The sample I have of the Harman by Hahnem\ufffdhle Matt Fibre Duo 210 grams 
is identical to the Innova Decor Art IFA25 220 grams. I guess this HM 
one at 200 grams will be identical to the Innova Decor Art IFA24 210 
grams. No sample of that one here. The 5 -10 grams difference usually is 
a marketing trick and not the actually weight difference

I use the IFA24 often when customers can not afford more expensive 
cotton papers etc. A friend uses the IFA25 too. Prints well with the 
latest HP, Canon and Epson pigment inks. Not smooth but a very light 
texture that is an advantage in my opinion, my customers like it. High 
white reflectance without OBA according my spectral measurements. The 
high reflectance depends a lot on the bleached ECF paper base which can 
not be considered a paper base that will last in time. But testing could 
prove otherwise.

It would be very handy to have a comparison list of what paper's are exactly the same. Just like Ernst suggested HPN = Papergraphics smooth art fine etc...
