Re: [Digital BW] Interesting Essay on K3 B&W Printing by Pete Myers

2006-04-01 by Peter Marshall

When I tested the range of Pictorico papers I concluded that the 
Pictorico Photo Gallery Hi-gloss White Film gave the ugliest prints I'd 
ever seen. I can imagine it being popular for display graphics but never 
for fine art prints.

I think the publication of this piece shows a complete lack of editorial 
judgement by the web site concerned, it should clearly have had a 
heading that marked it as advertising material.
