[Digital BW] Re: Quadtone prints costs calculated

2001-08-06 by mwesley250@earthlink.net

Andre,

I wouldn't use EAM anymore for finished prints but I do like the tone 
and surface. I it for initial work prints as I manipulate an image in 
Photoshop. I just meant to emphasize that in inkjet prints the paper 
cost is the dominant factor in the total. Yes you generally get what 
you pay for.

Today (changeable at any moment) I like Hahnemule Torchon and Museo 
for final prints. I occasionally use some Somerset Enhanced but I 
generally find it too warm for me. The nice thing is that there are 
so many choices to please a very wide range of tastes.

Thanks,
Martin
