I am a musiocian, and pretty often am asked to do some shots for bands,
or singers, etc, or weddings once in a while. The people I know really
like the look and feel of a glossy BW print a lot better. That is
probably because they are made to be handled, pulled from envelopes,
passed around from person to person. If it is a matte print someone
invariably will get a sour look on their face and make a comment about
this cheap promo package duped at kinkos on a Xerox machine. Any good
band is going to have a package with "real" BW photgraphs. Not dry
paper Xerox looking Plain paper (" i didn't know kinkos had paper this
thick".... is another old stand-by comment)
Now If the print is under glass, nobody ever notices that it is matte
or rag. I think they actually assume it is a glossy print under there,
looking great.
Now I really do think that the UT2 with glop is a better looking print
with no spray than without glop and with spray. The regular people that
I have shown them to, see it that way about 10 to 1, but I have not
done a survey, other than to pay attention to the comments they
make.........I dont think anyone is kidding themselves though. maybe
your prints on pictorico glossy dont have the pop that kirkland
has?....DMMessage
