Re: [Digital BW] DMax and Glossy Prints - Are We Kidding Ourselves?

2005-03-11 by Steve Kale

My point was that, if I am not mistaken, in the original post the author
showed people the same print on matte paper and then on "glossy".  I am not
certain that the author meant glossy in the sense of a hi-gloss paper (ie a
subset of inkjet RC or PK-ink papers) or simply the broader group of
RC/PK-ink inkjet papers - I suspect the latter.  I don't like high gloss
either - but a semi-matte print has quite a different finish.
