Re: Best paper for B/W?

2004-06-29 by Johnny Eades

Hello all,

I've been reading about the "bronzing" issue on glossy papers when 
BW images are printed on them. I wonder how many people view an 
image in light that produces the effect. If I am looking at an image 
and there is a glare on it, I simply turn the paper so the glare 
goes away and look at the image for what it speaks to me. The 
bronzing is not anything that detracts from an image for me. I 
reminds me of people who take out a loupe to examine a Black Only 
printed image. Those folks are not looking at the image as a whole, 
but are trying to find fault with it. Their insecurity forces them 
to dominate others with their criticism.
