Guy, I am using a lightweight Weyerhaesuser Satin Coated very bright
paper - it prints as well as the glossy photo quality papers, is relatively
inexepensive and I prefer the blinding white background which is why I
am/was considering the water color touch.

Not having too much experience with a lot of papers, do you have the sources
for the Hawk and Somereset papers you referred to?

Many thanks,

Nick
