Gord, I tried some vellums for digital negs (which will be reported on)
-- One that didn't work because it seemed to have some UV blocking factor
made a GORGEOUS print, and I thought would be worth trying for cyano
and/or pt/pd. It's called Opaline, by Canson, 185 gsm, and is, if I
recall correctly 100% cotton.. There's also a paper called OPALUX, but I
know no details.
I would suppose however that someone at the bookstore ORDERS the stuff &
would be susceptible to blackmail, guilt tripping, trickery, or a
combination of all 3.
