How to decide?
With such a choice making a decision is a little daunting, it's a bit
like a freshly opened box of Belgian truffles, they are all nice -
depends on what you fancy!
You can get a mixed box of surfaces to try but one of the problems is
that only two or three of each type is provided and you don't get to
know much about how one paper behaves. My advice would be to decide
between art and non-art, firstly. Then choose Oyster for non-art and
Portrait for art. Get to know each of these papers and then branch out
into the others from a sound knowledge base. Although they are not
identical, we have found that a set of conditions for Portrait will
make a good starting point for the other art papers. Note this does not
include the Matt Plus, this is a very different animal!
We can write all we like, but the only way to really choose a paper is
by first whittling down the surfaces by look and then extensive
printmaking - and why not? You will learn a lot about your technique
along the way. Despite this we have carried out exhaustive testing on
the whole range so you might as well share in our findings! You can
gain a closer idea of what each surface looks like by studying the
image of the swatch fan.This has been corrected for colour but left a
little dark so that the glancing light emphasises the surface texture.
It is about the best that can be done photographically, you really need
to handle paper samples and make images to glean a true idea. |
