Re: Classic Velour Problem & any alternatives??

[Jerry Olson <jerryolson@rrv.net>]

Craig, about a year ago I got a bunch of sample prints from Lyson on all
their watercolor papers. They make a paper that is identical to the
Luminos Velour. There were a few flakes off their prints when I got
them. I looked at them again not so long ago, and there are literally
hundreds of white spots all over them. This paper was very defective
then, and boy is it ever evident now!

I haven't had any problems with somerset velvet enhanced of any kind, ever.

Jerry



They should replace the paper.
