Digital BW, The Print

My modest proposal is to totally avoid EEM.  In fact, boycott all acidic
papers.

 

When acid free papers like Premier BW (also known as Premier Matte, Dual
Sided Matte -- see http://www.premierimagingproducts.com/pm_mattebw.php) can
be purchased for as cheap as EEM 

(see, e.g.,
http://www.itsupplies.com/cgi-bin/itsupplies.storefront/45562fb80418e7f62741
4200c149062b/Catalog/1623), why take the risk that a print might end up
being one you want to keep for a while?  Maybe your kids will even someday
see value in what you now think is just a proof or snapshot.

 

I'm not pushing PremierArt, but the fact that they can make a paper this
good for this price shows what can be done.  We should not settle for less
nor pay outrageous prices for cellulose - the most abundant organic
substance in the biosphere.  Paying over 5 times more for HPR does not make
my photos better.

 

(OK, I'll get off the soap box.)
