Re: [Digital BW] Heavyweight Matt vs EAM/EEM

2002-12-21 by Bob_Michaels <Bob@BobMichaels.org>

Jerry:
Thanks. After being very critical about the weight, comparing them
side by side, it does seem that the EHM is maybe 5%-10% lighter. I
couldn't tell the difference till I looked specifically for it by
holding the pages by their edge and seeing how much they sagged. 
But, the tone appears identical in both incadesent and daylight. I
just cannot tell any difference in the prints. 
I guess this is just another one of those great mysteries of digital
printing.
