[Digital BW] Re: why print on matte paper? when you can use matte canvas...

2006-11-28 by scott_now_coming

Steve,

Everyone has an opinion.

I guess it all depends on what canvas you're using and what subjects 
you're printing.

The portraits I print on canvas look better than any paper I used 
(Epson, Silver Rag....).

But, then, I'm printing in color.

Although, a friend has a b&w portrait of her two childern, a studio 
shot, printed on canvas and I think it looks real nice.

As far as canvas looking like wallpaper, I don't have any in my home, 
so maybe I don't mind a few canvas portraits hanging here and there.

Scott
