Digital BW, The Print

Well, there is a reason for not using Silver Gelatin papers after all...

But hey, what would you call that print...the one made with Carbon Pigmented inks (sprayed by the inkjet printer) on Silver Gelatin paper???

  Are you saying that these papers now being produced for inkjet use still have silver in them?  I doubt
  it...Too pricey to include the silver...and besides, if the silver was present it would discolor over time.
  And then, if they have no silver in them, they would only be gelatin coated papers, but I suspect that they
  are no longer using the gelatin coating....As gelatin coatings don't respond well to inkjet ink applications
  (again I refer back to that 62 page thesis: Stability Issues and Test Methods for Ink Jet Materials, Barbara
  Vogt, Department of Image Engineering, University of Applied Science, Cologne).

  Obviously you can, and will, call these things we make, anything you like...and (really) it's ok by me.  :- )
