Digital BW, The Print

The surfaces of the papers are a bit different.  I, too, think the Semigloss
has the best look in terms of surface reflections.  If it were available in
rolls here I might be using it instead of the Semimatte for my occasional
large "glossy" display prints.  I think it does better than the Semimatte in
Wilhelm tests.  I would still be spraying it with PremierArt Print Shield,
however.
