I have only used it for salt prints with good luck. But as I understand, it
Lenox is made by several suppliers and they seem to differ somewhat in their
characteristics of surface. I found one velvety and another much harder
surface. It is definitely a good tough and receptive paper, and a good value
as a print type paper. I tried to abuse it mercilessly when I was using it for
drawing paper and it stands up to most anything. You might experiment by
trying several sources and see if they are the same. Mike O'Shea
