Digital BW, The Print

-Tim , I agree with you.

Once printed on, the Silver Rag looks like a silver gelatin print, 
IMO.

I can understand what Helen is referring to when she made that 
comment about "Naugahyde".

But, once Silver Rag is printed on, you have to hold the print at 
such a severe angle, that reflection is the biggest problem. You 
can't see that texture.

Hang it on a wall and look at it from all angles: it a non-issue for 
me.

I'm excited about this paper.

Now, for a canvas with the same qualities. :>)
