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

2011-09-28 by tboleyyh

my experience is that there are no fine art matte boards with anywhere near the optical brighteners in many of the inkjet papers, so the mismatch is unavoidable. Frankly, I'd pick a paper that is less blue, using less brighteners. The mismatch can be acceptable sometimes with a matte that overlaps the image a touch, in other words a non floating image. This way you don't see the paper white right against the matte color. To me though, the highlights still look blue with those papers.
I hate to suggest you change papers, but there are many good performers with a more neutral paper base if you chose to do so.
