Re: [Digital BW] Whitest mat paper ...

2011-09-28 by Andrew Darlow

Hi Lew:

If you plan to frame most of your prints and if only you will see them with mats, you might want to do a quick test under glass or acrylic and look at them under daylight and tungsten (maybe even fluorescent). The difference may disappear due to the inherent UV filters in the glass.

If you plan to sell them matted only, I understand why you would want them to more closely match without any glass or acrylic.

All the best,

Andrew
