[alt-photo] Re: canson opalux and Canson Crob d'Art

[Clarence Rhymer]

Hello Chris,

I haven't tried the Canson Opalux Translucent, but further to Freestyle 
now carrying Canson products, I found Canson Universal Sketch Pads 
http://freestylephoto.biz/702193-Canson-Universal-Sketch-Pad-Uncoated-Paper-for-Alternative-Process?cat_id=109  
in searching for Canson Crob d'Art.  Crob d'Art is recommended by Mark 
Osterman 
http://notesonphotographs.org/images/d/d4/Osterman_2007_Making_Albumen_Prints.pdf 
and Quin Jacobson 
http://studioq.com/blog/2010/10/28/canson-crob-art-paper-albumen.html  
for albumen prints.  France Scully gave me some last October, and I have 
since been trying to import some from France at a reasonable cost.  It 
seems rather light, but works well.  At the end of January, I noticed 
the Canson Universal Sketch Pads on Freestyle's site.  They claim it is 
identical to Crob d'Art.  I ordered some, but it has not arrived yet, so 
I can't comment. It is listed on Freestyle as 96gsm (spiral bound), but 
on the Canson site 
http://www.lateliercanson.com/fr_fr/canson-crob-art-lisse-80-g-m-bloc-colle-petit-cote-1.html 
as 80 gsm and glued in a pad.  Freestyle still has the 9x12 in stock, 
and they expect more 11x14 by Feb. 24th.  If anyone has tried this, I 
would be interested in their comments.

Cheers,
Clarence in Fort Smith, NT

I have a sample of it to try again as I am suspicious of papers changing over time (I used it back in 2003-5) but here is the URL. Anyone try it lately? BTW Freestyle is packaging up lots of 11x15 size papers in student-friendly prices and amounts.
