     The Art of Digital Fine Art printing
"....I am very impressed with the book you are about to read. It’s information like this that has helped to raise the quality of digital output and reduce the traditional art world’s resistance to the use of digital tools in art. It is a book written by someone who KNOWS fine art digital printmaking. Uwe’s style is concise and to the point. This comprehensive and complete guide to fine art digital printmaking should be included in the library of anyone who is serious about making fine art digital prints...."

Comments by Outback Print Editors

 

Uwe Steinmueller

Clearly a nice paper. This paper is thick which can help with larger sheets laying flat. Different character than the Harman paper. In the end it comes down to a personal preference. Some may love the stronger texture and other prefer the slightly smoother Harman paper.
