Digital BW, The Print

Shilesh, this isn't in direct response to your statement, but I just wanted to state that I  printed on William Turner this afternoon and though I may not have had as STRONG an emotional response as you (i.e., 'orgiastic response' to the HPR) *smile*---it did elicit a very strong response from me.  I particularly noted your thought about the tactile feel (but tonality and detail also)--this could be one of my favorite papers and, like you, Epson Velvet has been my current favorite for awhile.  I printed the same image on other papers--didn't do the same thing for me.

  <snip>

  Epson velvet Fine Art is a current favorite.

  Perhaps I could make the prints on a non-glossy RC paper like Epson 
  Semi-Matte, or such.  But I have lost the urge anymore.

  I still remember the first time I held a well made b/w inkjet print 
  (from one of the founders of this forum - Martin Wesley).  It was on 
  308 gsm Photo Rag.  It elicited an almost orgiastic response in me; 
  the tonality, detail, and most importantly the tactile feel of the 
  paper.  William Turner has a similar effect on me.  Yet a few of the 
  people I have shown/asked to hold prints made on these venerable 
  papers have reacted "what sort of cardboard is this"!!  Just goes to 
  show you that there is no accounting for personal taste and 
  preference.

  Regards.

  Shilesh
