Hello. I would like to know, if possible, if anybody know where can I buy a kind of paper for B&W that this texture looks like a canvas (paint).

Please, if possible, I would like to know, the name of this paper.

(Sorry, my English. I'm Brazilian and I dont'speak this language). Thanks. Lucia

Go to the following sites for your information on paper. www.kodak.com and www.filmshop.com And I'm from Texas so your English is probably about as good as mine. Good luck.

There is a lines paper available from b&h but it is really pricey. I have found that there are two texture screens available from freestyle sales co. that really look nice. One is actually called canvas, but it really has alot of texture. the linen one is much more appealing to me. I submitted a question right before you on how to make your own, I got a good answer. Something you should know, you have to allow for that when you are making your test strip if you are using the zone system. It will mess up your time just slightly. What you do is lay the texture negative (that's all it is a negative) over the one you plan to print, and then print it! It's losts of fun and really nice if you want to handcolor. You get a much more realistic look if you use a quality fiberbased paper like charcol (I think that is kodak) or one of the art papers, Well have fun!!!!!

You can also have your photographs actually mounted on artist canvas. Most professional labs offer this service. The paper backing is stripped from the back of the print and the emulsion is glued to the canvas and placed in a hot mounting press.

Fotospeed linnen (or linen?) is photo-emulsion on canvas I believe. The Fotospeed tapestry is paper but with texture. Hmmm, I wonder if Fotospeed and Luminous is the same product?
