Digital BW, The Print

Hello Richard,

>As an aside, I just read this on a website: 
>"Velvet Fine Art Paper - With a base that is 100% cotton rag,
>buffered >and acid free, this paper is coated with the Enhanced 
>Matte coating..."
>I hadn't realised that EEM and VFA had the same coating.

I have seen this several times and, to be honest, I have my doubts. 
The main thing is yellowing.  We know that EEM yellows very quickly,
in a few weeks (some say days), while VFA takes a long time (I don't
know how long, I've never seen any yellowed VFA; it seems to be very
yellow-resistant).  If they have the same coating then the yellowing
difference would have to be attributed to the paper.  Somehow that
doesn't seem right.  Otherwise they are very similar (contrast and
density; VFA dmax is a bit better).


Regards,
Clayton
