Digital BW, The Print

Whilst I largely agree with you (and do use your approach already in most
cases) I would make an exception for some of the more heavily textured
papers such as William Turner.  With these I find that the look of the
texture changes with image size so that using a small print on the same
paper as a proof is not really useful.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Why EEM Is A Good Proof Paper



  I don't think "proof paper" a logical concept for inkjet printing, and
  I doubt many have ever bought EEM primarily for that purpose.

  If a paper "proof" needs to closely approximate the character of a
  finished print then one should logically use a smaller piece of the
  final print paper... the way professional photo labs have always done
  it, now far easier with inkjet.

  One of the sweet technical characteristics of digital printing is the
  absence of exposure adjustment between small prints (eg "proofs") and
  big prints...IMO that's the best argument for proofing small on your
  final paper type, especially if that final print paper is expensive.
  Why risk proofing on a lesser paper?

  "So if you're
  using one of the moderately warm tone matte papers for final prints,
  EEM is hard to beat. It's been pretty much a universal proof paper
  for a long time.--- "Clayton Jones" <cj@...>"
