Digital BW, The Print

Carl and Gabriel-

Carl, 

What is it you didn't like about the Harman?  With the Ilford I found 
such bad quality control (mostly surface scratching) that I gave up 
on it.  I liked the surface though, because it is smooth and not at 
all glossy.  On the other hand, the gloss differential in highlights 
was quite obvious because the k3 inks are quite glossy.  The gloss 
differential with the Harman is minimal.

Gabriel,

I am still awaiting my first box of 17 x 25, and I'm not likely to 
print larger than that.  I was not aware it was available in rolls, 
but I imagine it would be a curling problem.  It has very much the 
stiffness of a gelatin paper.

Walt
