Stonehenge Paper for Platinum print.

[Tri Tran]

Just so to let you know! For Platinum Printers especially . I have used the paper called Stonehenge from Blick Art. The paper is pretty thick 90 gsm, easy to coat even my lab humidity at low as 35 with no humidifier required
The paper yield a very nice soft look, nice D max and certainly difference from any other paper that I have used including Weston, Crane or Arche Platine.
It come in several shades but my favorite are Warm White and Natural. Size 22x30 for less $2/ sheet. For more details please follow this link:

Thanks, Tri...yes, Stonehenge is a great low-cost paper for pt/pd printing. About a month ago, I made some small prints on it after acidifying it along with some other paper. Since then, I've been told that acidification isn't necessary, so I'm looking forward to trying it again in situ as it were.

Hi Paul,
I dedicated this paper for most of my portrait print. It has a great softness look , texture and a great combination with the soft lens was used here. For better yet this paper is made in USA .

Love that print Paul, and thanks for the thread TT!

That's a very nice print Paul. Plenty of Dmax and I can see the highlight is creamy smooth. This pape is great isn't it? 1/4 of the price of the Arche Platine and it's basically the same paper. A true Champagne taste with a Beer budget! I'm so sold.
BTW: The paper doesn't need to presoak either, straight to coat from the oven.

@ Joe: I hope you will try it out and please call to have them send you some sample. Great people and service.

No presoak whatsoever, the paper is ready to coat right of the bat. It's absorbed the chemical nicely.
