Is there anybody who can shine some light on the differences between Foma Classic MG 132 and the 133 papers? According to Foma's product catalogue 132 has a matte finish while 133 has a velvet, fine grain finish. What is a velvet, fine grain finish? And how does it compare to glossy and matte?

131 glossy, 132 matte, 133 is somewhere in between. It would be my favorite of the three. Difficult to describe but it has a nice slight textured feel.

The 132 matte is a dull gloss, not horrible flat matte. These papers are great
