Digital BW, The Print

I like matte much better than glossy / semi-glossy paper. Why? Because I
like to see image detail instead of reflections. The reflections of glossy
paper makes me sick - I definitely don't like to bend/turn the paper or move
my head around to see the whole image.

BTW Cristian, I don't know if it degrades longevity or not, but why don't
you try to coat or laminate your MIS prints? I tried to laminate my prints
once, I loosed both image detail and black density slightly but it was more
like a silver print; in other words a "silver print imitation". But... To
me, a "carbon pigment print" stands by itself, a "laminated carbon pigment
print" is an imitation (I don't know about "coated carbon pigment prints",
so these are out of the scope of the previous statement).

Regards,
Loris.
