Re: [Digital BW] Which printer for B&W

2004-12-19 by scott_now_coming

W,

The Gloss HP is like a glossy RC print. Too much gloss for my taste.

The original HP Premium Plus Matte Photo paper is closer to a fiber-
based wet print. Now, HP is calling this "Satin", it was never a 
matte surface, but whatever one wants to call it, I prefer it.

Sometimes I like a High Gloss finish for a color photograph, but 
never a B&W image.

Scott
