One of the great joys of digital printing is the choices of papers that we currently have.
I frequently get asked about the papers I use for printing. I tell folks what they want to know but also tell them that if they are satisfied with what they are currently using they should not change. The great paper chase may never end.
That said, I recently came across a paper called Niyodo, made in Japan, which is wonderful for the right images. I get it from Hiromi in California. The paper was recommended to me by my good friend and fabulous photographer, Ellen Martin.
The image above was printed on the Niyodo paper. I chose to show a picture of it hanging on the wall because there is no good way to show the delicacy of this paper in a straight copy. I tore the edges and mounted it to the substrate with rice paste.
What a beautiful image!
