"I tried Type 2 when it was on sale a while back. Before trying the Type 2, I had been using Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper. Type 2 is a bit brighter than Photo Rag paper and allows for better contrast and this allows the ink to shine and create the tones without the paper changing the tone across the board."

I designed these paper for my own studio (Cone Editions Press). They are 100% rag, pH neutral, lignen-free, and 100% OBA free in order to make the most archival paper possible. Type 2 is a very smooth fine art matte surface. Type 5 has been called the best baryta surface on the market today. It should be! I designed it to mimic Ilford fiber base surface.
