[Digital BW] Re: Epson Enhanced Matte & Wilhelm

2003-08-25 by Sanaka

Thanks Paul :-)

I had seen this article before but not read thoroughly. I'm using MIS 
original archival inks (doing BW with black only for now), so if 
anything seems I should get even slightly better results than 
indicated. Unless of course your more cynical intuitions are borne 
out in full... =:-o

Of course there's lots of discussion as to the validity of Wilhelm's 
testing methods in the first place. To me, how well these 
reflect 'real life' conditions is not especially pertinent. That the 
methods applied are applied consistently gives a very good _relative_ 
comparison across products, whatever the real life lifespan turns out 
to be. Even cutting the Wilhelm predictions in half, EEM is looking 
very good indeed for me right now. I'm not selling my work or 
submitting it to museums, however.

BTW, I submitted this reply a couple days ago but it didn't seem to 
make it on to the forum. Hopefully this does...

Peace,
Sanaka
