Re: [Digital BW] New papers comparison made

2008-01-12 by Scott Jones

Hi there,

I have had no problems with any kind of outgassing and have several 
long term framed prints with no troubles. The prints probably have 
well dried though for several days before I have framed them.

As for lying flat, I dry mount all my prints so I cannot speak to 
rippling on non mounted prints. Hope that helps.

Lastly I have never had to spray the prints.

Cheers,

Scott

EPSG. I sell framed prints and I have used Epson Premium Luster RC 
paper in the past but switched to Hahemuhle photo rag for two reasons.
