[Digital BW] Re: Uncoated papers.

Jerry:
All my tests with MIS VM, are on uncoated papers. Most likely, the 
lack of warmth, the muddiness, I reported are probably related to the 
uncoated papers. From what I've read, users of coated papers have 
good results. I don't want to confuse anyone with the results of my 
experiences....your experiences are on coated papers too?

I mentioned 'solarization'. Maybe that is a silver photography term 
only. Do 'posterizations' have a similar look? Could you 
define 'posterizing' both from a b&w and a color standpoint? 

thanks,
ken
