Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Yes, that was my point. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I recently saw 3
Ansel Adams prints at Tom McCartney's house. The prints had lovely backs w/
a full range of tones on a cream colored paper. I am sure that the paper did
not start out that way. It was just a very delicate shade of cream. Looks
like the paper had aged.

So with that said, it is really my opinion that we use the best quality inks
and papers that we can for exhibition quality prints and forget all this
archival stuff. It gives me a headache. ;-)

Mike
