Re: Matte BW vs Kayenta for K3

2007-04-23 by djon43

I'm looking forward to trying it, not incidentally because it's even
cheaper than Kayenta :-) 

Various non-cotton papers will inevitably come to be preferred by many
for better ability to maintain bright white. 

Presumably the impending uncoated photo papers will be non-cotton as
well, good news for everybody as prices will certainly plummet. 

My main quibble with Kayenta is in smaller prints where the faint
directional-grainy surface becomes obvious .. not distracting at 11X17
and at least it avoids the drugstore-look of "pearl."
