Digital BW, The Print

I'm glad you asked about QTR and glossy. As I'm writing this I'm 
making a print on Ilford Smooth Glossy Paper, because now that you 
mention it; I don't think I've used QTR with glossy paper. I'm using 
the SemiLuster Paper curve. Let me look at the finished print and see 
if my opinion is changed by it....................By George, there is 
almost no bronzing at all. There is still the distraction from the 
light glaring on the paper, but I may start using some Glossy Paper. 
Now I see that I failed to assign the QTR Glossy paper workspace 
before printing it. I may try another when I get some more glossy 
paper to play with.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
