Re: [Digital BW] Paper type and layman's taste: what's your experience?

I many times showed a friend a real nice print on photo rag and they 
said .....
"wow, ....and you did this at kinko's?"......(kinko's is a xerox 
place).......and you show then gloss print they say...."who developed 
these?".......I actually like glossy better. For a long time I was 
embarrased to admit that. ....weird.
One other thing though, if you show them a print under glass, they 
never know that it is an inkjet print. And the raggy papers look great 
from every angle. .....oh well, that's why we have so many papers to 
choose from, right?.....interesting discussion. This a nice forum. Doug
