[Digital BW] Re: Technically Perfect Print was: Uncoated Papers

2001-09-20 by ken@kensmithart.com

Robert:
Well, besides the tactileness, my reason for uncoated papers is that 
they are deckled...I want it for it's presentation, some ideas I 
have. But, coated papers don't have deckled edges...

You suggested in an email to me, that I check with Kami Henson at 
photoinkjet.com...that they were going to offer some coated papers 
with deckle edges....

a part of her reply:

"Coming soon, will be the Brightcube Deckled Fine Art papers.  They 
aren't scheduled for production until after Christmas though.  The 
Brightcube Eclipse papers are what we will be going to deckle, so you 
can opt to try out some samples of Eclipse Satine or Velvet to see if 
you'll like the surface of our new deckled papers."

...so there are seemingly lots of ways to go, each with its own 
twist. Deckle rulers to make my own from coated papers/ deckled 
coated papers/ and the nice feel of deckled uncoated papers. Now I 
have information overload!! Better keep the printers humming!

thanks,
ken
