Re: lith printing paper news

["Tim Rudman" <tim.rudman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

No jaap, there is no other paper to my knowledge that will give this colour
response in selenium other than kentona/Art Classic and tapestry which are
all the same emulsions coated onto different papers and thus will all cease
production (as warned in my book)

It is worth getting a supply and freezing it. It is a cadmium paper and
therefore will last a couple or three years - up to 8 or 10 probably if
frozen.

The new paper works well though and early tests show no fogging problems but
await further testing, so it's well worth using
