Re: [Digital BW] Greenies with MIS-FS?

2002-05-03 by btmcelhaney

Interesting observations, Mike! I also noticed the Museo prints were 
more olive than Sommerset PE from the get go. All prints look more 
neutral, after viewing them outside in the daylight. Problem is, they 
will be mostly viewed indoors! Maybe I need to shop for different 
papers. Haven't tried Willie Turner yet.  Anybody have a good source? 
or other good paper recommendations?
