I appreciate all the comments so far. Hopefully more of you will offer your opinions and experiences of matte vs. glossy. I want to add that the Innova F that I like is not like drug store glossy paper. It is much more subdued and offers a not-completely-smooth texture. I have read that others liken it to fiber F photographic paper that has been air-dried rather than glazed. Since my prints in question are to be framed and hung in an exhibtition, the advantages of matte's non-reflective surface are lost to me. Other here recently have praised the Crane Silver Rag. I have some sample sheet of this coming from Eric at Booksmart Studio along with the Innova F Warmtone (same as Innova F but without OBAs) and the Innova luster finish. I am particularly interested in the warmtone paper but I look forward to do some more comparisons. Finally, despite all of what I have written, I have continued to look at some of the matte test prints that I made and the images on Entrada with MIS eboni as the MK ink look quite good. Since my final prints have yet to be made, I may go with matte after all... :) Dave. -- My Photography: http://www.david-keenan.com My Blog: http://www.david-keenan.com/euroblog [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
