Digital BW, The Print

Paul
Right now, I'm using primarily PK because of the paper stocks I have on hand. But I do like matte prints and have experimented with Hahnemuhle Bamboo -- at first kind of disastrously but more recently with better results.

I am comfortable with PK particularly using Ilford Gold Fiber Silk paper. I'm getting results that I'm pretty happy with. Still, I'm very self critical and always believe I can do better.

But I'm kind of at the beginning of my process and who knows which way the winds will blow.
