I have had good success with true Kallitype (Ferric Oxalate variety)
with the following papers.
Fabriano Artistico
Arches Aquarelle
Stonehenge Rising
Rising Drawing 2-ply Bristol
Two excellent sources are Daniel Smith in Seattle
(http://www.danielsmith.com/) and Stephen Kinsella in St. Louis,
http://www.kinsellaartpapers.com/
You can check current pricing on-line at either source.
Best buy in my estimation is the Rising Stonehenge from Daniel Smith,
22X30 size, at $1.19 per sheet in quantity of 25-99.
But every paper gives slightly different results so it is best to
experiment a bit to see what you like best.
