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

 



I've had similar feedback...Many people think that RC papers look 
like "real photos," while matte papers are from an inkjet.  (And 
they're partially right - the matte DID come from an inkjet, right?  
They just don't assume that the glossy did.)

As Doug mentioned, one nice thing about the matte papers is that 
they look great under glass - from any angle.  There is no "glare" 
like there is from RC papers.  And it is difficult, if not 
impossible, to tell what paper type once it is under glass.

 

[JMF]  I understand that… The « problem » is that I never put photos under
glass… Pardon the analogy, but I see glass a little bit like a « visual
condom »…

The only time I had to put photos under glass was at a recent exhibit, and
only because the gallery *really* insisted… (something to do with protecting
the merchandise…)

That said, I've been struggling a bit with the same thing.  I really 
like the way some of the matte papers look, the way they 
(hopefully!) last, and they are very fashionable right now with 
photographers, if not consumers.  But I kinda like some of the 
semigloss and glossy papers, actually.  And they generally hold a 
larger gamut - and I hate trying to correct out-of-gamut problems!  
Maybe custom profiles for the matte papers would help a bit...
