Re: [Digital BW] EAM and Epson WC paper & mounting

2001-11-12 by shashinka@aol.com

Hi Paul:

Thanks for taking so much time to answer every one of my questions.  I'll 
accept acid neutral or slightly acidic, just not very acidic.  

-EAM shifts, on average, about 3 units (of the 256 level, 8-bit scale).  This
-seems average.  I have no idea how this relates to display under normal
-conditions.

Did the 3 point on EAM shift stop after a while, because if so, i'm not all 
that concerned.

I hang 16x20 EAM prints with 2 tapes, matted, and they have stayed perfect.

Sorry, what does 2 tapes mean?  Top and bottom?  Just white adhesive acid 
free tape?

>... heat mounted Piezo or MIS work ...

-but I have a Generations color on Epson
Photo Quality Ink Jet paper that was dry mounted.  

Funny, I was thinking of doing the same because that paper is quite unique 
with Gen inks and whatever one mounts it to will make it a new kind of image. 
 That paper is really acidic, I think.

All the best!

-Andy
