Re: Matte Papers vs. newer Silver Rag type papers

Hello Evan,

>Silver Rag type papers, as opposed to sticking with the traditional 
>matte papers?

I tried SR and a few others, and have seen prints on some of the
newest Innova paper.  It's improving but in spite of the better dmax I
still prefer the lack of glare and reflections so much that I'm
sticking with matte papers for now.  

Since I began using K3 inks in August '05 my favorite paper has become
Epson's Velvet Fine Art (VFA).  It really sings with these inks and
the prints have a richness and depth that is hard to beat.

Regards,
Clayton
