[Digital BW] Re: more paper news

2006-01-29 by Shilesh Jani

OK, now this is pure entertainment - no other value can be gained 
from these conversations, I am LOL:

Did you see me make any "meaning" to my test? Did I not state the 
limitations? Just like Dmax tells us about "deep black", the ability 
to read and comprehend what is written needs education. Please, 
please read what I said, not what you "think" or "feel" what I said. 

To reiterate: under equal conditions A and B faded more than C. What 
more is there to understand? Or I am thick?

I am laughing a lot today.

PS: I am printing a bunch of b/w photographs right now, for my office 
wall, and I am using the NanoChrome K. If or when the prints fade, I 
will just print it again. The Dmax, oops, I mean the black depth is 
awesome. And no, I will not sell or give these prints.
