Of course you can't see the results on the RR paper, but I printed this B&W on it and WOW! Looks magical!I have never played around with B&W but it sounds interesting to find out what it would look like.

That is a great photo and I know you can't duplicate the effect but I can imagine how the the cliffs and other bright areas pop out out of the picture. Thanks for posting!Of course you can't see the results on the RR paper, but I printed this B&W on it and WOW! Looks magical!

I use Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper most of the time that I am not using the Metallic paper. Sometimes I will try sample packs from Epson, Red River or at some of the Expos they have deals on sample packs. I do tend to return to the Pearl Metallic because after trying many different papers, it is still 'my' favorite.

RR Polar Pearl Metallic, is all I use for B & W/ 'monotone' anymore. These are customer prints, (hardly ever print anything for me), they seem to love it, and for good reason.
