Digital BW, The Print

I wouldn't touch it.  It might just be a European thing.  Don't know.

Glossies are really for reproduction.

==prints, please read this thread
==
==
==
==
==Today I met with an old associate of mine, he owns a local 
==framing store, but his specialty is fine art photography and 
==portraiture.  
==Originally from eastern Europe, where he received his 
==training in traditional, analogue photography/print making, 
==he now makes his living in Canada, still shooting film with 
==wet dark room processing.
==
==I had him look at some of my digital b&w prints done on EEM 
==paper with my 2200, and he was impressed, except for one thing:  
==
=="No Glossy Paper."
==
==I suppose in his mind, a black and white print does not have 
==much merit unless it's produced on glossy or semi-gloss 
==photographic paper.  He suggested I make some prints on semi 
==gloss paper as an experiment and and I told him I would try 
==and show him the results. 
==
==What are your opinions about using glossy media for fine art prints?
==
==Do any of you use this media and if so for what applications?
==
==What about the "bronzing" issue? How do I overcome this problem?
==
==Please speak your minds.
