Re: [Digital BW] FibaPrint and Silver Rag not good enough?

2006-09-05 by joaskild

Hello, I have used Da Venci, FAP and Silver rag too with Epson R800 and 9800. I think that 
the Silver Rag is alot better than the two otheres. The surface problem is something wich 
haven�t been a problem for me at all. I like it very much and think that the Silver Rag prints 
are miles better than any of my earliger Potriga or Racord Rapid or any other brayte paper 
used earliger. The tonal control is simpel so much better that I cannot imagen to go back to 
the darkroom agen. I even could make more beutiful prints on the arfull looking Lamda prints 
with kodak paper. I think peopel should consentrate on the emotion in the prints and not 
teckinal about how near or not it resampel any earliger brayte paper. In oder to create the 
feeling in the prints I come much neaer now with the digital mediom and espeacely with 
Silver Rag wich I find the most beutifull paper until date. My main problem is the diffence in 
reflection wich is gone with a lack coting a bit like the final toning.

The FAP has too low Dmax comepared to Silver Rag and DA Venci. I have compered FIA with 
lack and with Silver Rag without lack and the Dmax and feel is much better than FAP.
