Digital BW, The Print

Robert, 

I think a coated print next to an uncoated (unglazed too) print next to a glazed print would be a good demonstration of technique and variable display potential. 

When is the commercial Morrison Mix (sounds like a greatest hits album) going to be available?  I may want to purchase some after seeing one of your samples.

  The reason that I asked about glass was two fold:

  1) Glass (or any transparent, thick surface) can serve to increase the
  viewed dmax
  2) If you notice Epson's statements about longevity...they all refer to
  framing behind glass...probably because anything between the print and light
  tends to improve lightfastness.

  One of my objectives in the coating project was to achieve the positives of
  glass without the negatives.  Antonis and I have talked about this one at
  length. But the velvety surface of a coated print is definitely no
  more...but honestly I have trouble looking at an uncoated print next to a
  coated one because the coated print is so rich and deep.

  Thanks for the input and experiences.

  Robert
