Re: Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Satin

2005-06-24 by chipcarterdc

I've never been entirely clear on the difference between "bronzing" 
and "gloss differential."  Regardless: the printed areas are reflective 
and the paper is textured; therefore, the texture is more apparent when 
viewed under strong light from an oblique angle.  But, not bad and 
nothing I would characterize as bronzing (by which I mean, different 
portions of the printed surface having a different amount of sheen than 
other parts, or certain parts looking as if they're on a 
different "level" of the paper surface).  So, in other words, it looks 
nothing like glossy prints from the 2200 etc using Photo Black.

My only wish is that they made a non-textured version of this paper.
