Digital BW, The Print

Excellent example - I am intending on printing BO with an epson 9500 to this size.  
Remember that people stand farther back when viewing a gigantic print - but small 
prints require the viewer to be very close.  This is one of the downfalls of BO - the 
closer you are the more dots you can make out.

With the 1280 and 1160 I have found that with smooth papers (EHM/EEM) the larger 
print size the better, and images have an attractive appearance around 8x12+.  
Depending on the image, smooth papers can look excellent at 6x9.

Anything smaller looks better on any of the coated rag papers with a slight tooth, 
such as Photo Rag.  The texture tends to hide the dither, and the rag papers are an 
excellent match for Eboni.  And as always, the untrained eyes that look at my prints 
always prefer the BO prints over quadtones - but I am looking forward to placing a 
Mpix print into the mix and see what happens...
