Re: Strathmore paper source wanted
I was planning to give a try to albumen, and I would like that my pictures
have the look of the old ones. For what I have read till now, Strathmore 500
1-ply seems to be the only one having the right qualities, in particular
about the thickness. So, I am very interested to know the results of this
comparison.
Or someone has a different suggestion for an alternative to this paper?

Jeremy,
I'm using it for pt/pd/cyanotype. New ones are just entirely different,
and inferior to the old. Have no idea whether the difference would affect
albumen. Want me to send you a small sheet to try?

Sam,
I'm looking at getting some of this paper for printing albumen on.
What are you using the paper for? I'm wondering because if it's no
longer suitable for albumen then I'll need to look elsewhere.

come across some anywhere. The current paper with the same name is
completely different and not what I'm looking for ( I bought some from
Utrech).
Thanks.
