Type5 paper was designed to replicate all the great qualities of Museo Silver Rag paper - with the exception that Type5 is much more conducive to printing with Piezography Selenium and Piezography WarmNeutral inks in glossy mode. While we think Silver Rag is one of the most attractive papers on the market, its surface has not been very Piezography ink friendly. Type5 combines the qualities of a luxury 100% cotton paper, a traditional baryta surface, and no OBAs. Very archival - and very beautiful as a surface on which to print Piezography glossy. If you have printed on Museo Silver Rag, you know the color of Type5; a sheet that has the same slightly warm (brovira look) tone. What Type5 brings to the printmaker that is new, is a much smoother and ink receptive surface than Silver Rag. One of Cone Editions Press most exciting new ink/paper combinations is Type5 with Selenium glossy inks. Simply extraordinary as a darkroom look-alike.
