I'm plugging away at learning BO printing with my 2200 w. Eboni and am experimenting with different papers to set the underlying warmth/coolness of the prints. One thing I've noticed is how dramatically the color of the paper appears to change with different light sources (color temperatures). One "natural" toned paper seemed to turn nearly pure white when viewed under a daylight temp. bulb while looking very creamy/yellow under soft white tungston (2700 degrees). So, I guess I should determine what color temp. is considered a standard for galleries displaying photographs. Is there a standard for galleries? Do they generally use quartz lighting? And, what sort of light fixtures and setup do you use for evaluating your prints? Thanks. Michael K
