Digital BW, The Print

the inks dry with the spray. There are many non-glossy photo papers that you
can use. If you want max dmax you are on a hiding to nothing with fineart
papers. Most of my stuff is sold framed - so I want the best 'behind-glass'
look I can get. For long tonal scale minimal black prints I use Wells River
or Photorag, for photos that are lo-key - I use the photo papers. As an
example http://www.foundobjectsgallery.com/FO/pages/card.htm this 'glows' on
Ilford 'Classic' pearl and is as flat as a pancake in comparison on
Photorag.  I've got prints I made with Ilford Warmtone FB paper hanging
alongside these 'tacky' photo papers and they match a lot more than the fine
art papers do on certain images. basically if you are selling framed prints
you use the best paper for the image - if you are letting people handle the
papers, then the fineart papers are very impressive.
