Re: Matte Papers vs. newer Silver Rag type papers

2007-04-14 by Steven Karafyllakis

Hi Evan;

Up until a couple days ago my answer was no, I haven't been able to put 
up with the odd surface texture and too uneven gloss; However I just 
tried the latest Innova offerings: Ultra Smooth gloss, and White Semi-
matte, both in the Fibaprint group. The US Gloss has a surface just 
about exactly like the Ilford Glossy FB that many of us used until we 
switched to digital, and the semi-matte is essentially the same but 
with almost no shine. Both are very handsome papers, and will do well 
with neutral images.  Haven't tried warm or sepia with them, I'm 
inclined to stay with matte papers for that. Jim Doyle has 5-sheet 
samples available. 


Regards,

Steven Karafyllakis
