Is anyone here using Hawk Mountain paper Condor BriteWhite? I'm looking for a double sided matte paper that's similar to the surface of Ultrasmooth but with a whiter base. Any opinions on this paper? How does the surface hold up to handling? My prints are bound in a book. I have been using Moab Entrada BW but I'm having a problem with the ink rubbing off on opposing pages, so I need to find a replacement paper and Ultrasmooth's out due to its warmth.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Have you tried it? I bought samples and like it and the Condor Natural very much--in fact so much that I'm going to order the 17 x 25" in the natural (for mono toned prints) to print with 3800. I don't have any experience in knowing how the surface holds up over time though. A good place to ask would be on the DigitalBlackandWhitePrint group on yahoogroups. I know there are a number of folks there who use it.

Hi Diane,

I have the sample pack which I'm trying now. I still like the surface of the Ultrasmooth better, I just wish it wasn't so warm.
