Digital BW, The Print

No argument: that's the tradeoff. The highest Dmax I've ever seen with
any "fine art" style paper (i.e., matte) is around 1.75. And for sure,
the lustre paper is feels like plastic, not rich and satisfying like a
lovely ink jet coated watercolor paper.

On the other hand, once either paper is behind glass, you can't feel it,
and the images on the luster paper with Dmax 2.5 have a
knock-your-socks-off dynamic range, with shadow detail you have to see
to believe.
