At the moment I’ll stick to A2 sheets, but I can see how using rolls could be more sensible. I will say that the museum rag was an amazing paper, but the prices for a big roll are silly. This just enhanced the late afternoon light of the images. The golden colour of Bamboo is down to the papers bamboo base and the creamy warm nature. Not sure clients would like the painterly look, its almost like it makes it look like it is created with a more coarse brush, if you are a lover of airbrushed faces, tone separated for perfection then the smooth rags will be more your choice.

I tried using the textured paper on colour portraits, and was amazed by the look. I could not get by the idea of having 25 sheets of a paper that I might not use all of for a while. I think I paid £65 for 15 metres of 17' IFA 11. I don't use cut sheet as I find its size too limiting, I am pedantic enough to want a shape and size without compromise.Īt the point I was playing with these papers I tried the Innova IFA 26 and the IFA 11, I considered these two papers more widely applicable, not to mention the fact that I bought big rolls at killer prices. I was also looking at the same two papers, and in the end decided that the Bamboo was quite unique and though it would suit several shots, it was not as widely applicable and worth me buying a large roll. From the trial you have seen how it is more like a matt rag and needs the lifts that you would do for that. Mujana this paper is so similar in prep to others that I use, so I don't consider it unusual. I’ll probably will buy a box A2 Museum Etching as well. Maybe I don’t do justice to this Bamboo paper, by sticking to B/W. I might buy a box of this paper (because it really looks very nice), especially for B/W.

So far I really prefer and like B/W for this paper (but I might be wrong ofcourse). What kept you from buying?ĭid you have to do any special processing on files to do justice to, and make them “shine” on this Bamboo paper? Like I ntrast/shadow lifting/colours/saturation/ etc.? All because of the slightly off white/yellowish tint of the paper? I only have 2 A4 sample papers printed.one in B/W and one colour. I’ve read your last years’ posts on this paper. not a ruin the image fake warmth, but a glowing difference.

If you had a few boxes and a lot of very neutral papers like Cansons papers, this would make a great warm choice. On an image from Tuscany, the warm afternoon light on the fields made an amazing golden green. It is a lovely textured paper, quite unique with a hint of warmth and a slightly different feel. I tried it, and nearly bought a big roll.
