Re: [Digital BW] 3-MK papers with a sheen? or 3-PKN?

2008-01-14 by espen.aasheim

Thanks Carl, I'll have to have a look at that paper.

Do you think that I could get the blacker blacks while staying with
3mk (perhaps a smoother matte paper), or will the variance between 
other matte papers, and the Permajet paper (Delta Matt Fibre), be so
subtle that I'd need to move to semi-gloss papers to get a noticable
change in the appearance of pure black? Any other paper suggestions
would be great too.

ps: I tend to work with larger areas of black, and the darkest tones
play an important role.


thanks,
espen
