The best!
Love this paper. I love the weight. I hate flimsy photo paper. I printed a soft pastels picture and it came out beautifully. I can't wait to try still life and nature with it. I also must commend the speed of delivery. It is at my house in very few days. Thanks for everything.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Dan Shepherd
Photographer
"As a fine art photographer, how the final print looks is paramount. I like how my "Blinded by Science" series looks on an exhibition quality matte paper that is brighter than the natural tones with a bit of texture, such as the 64lb. Aurora Art White paper.""
