Digital BW, The Print

Hi Tyler. Your prints arrived in FL today. Take what you may from my
untutored observations. I have not seen prints on either of these
papers until now.

1st: Were I looking for a printhouse to make prints closely
approximating the darkroom look, either of these would do for me.
The selection of tone would likely be made based on a particular image
and what I thought would best display.

2nd: I really like the warmer of the two. It reminds me greatly of one
of the old AGFA papers I liked back in the sixty's in it's color. Your
print also gave superb delineation to what is a very busy background
to your primary subject matter. It's overall appearance, to me, is of
what in the old days I would have called a very long scale paper with
excellent punch. It's gloss is also not obtrusive and just slightly
less than the cooler print.

On balance, you will have to determine if there is enough call for a
warmer air gloss look to answer your primary question about dedicating
a printer to the inkset. If you have the machine and room to spare, it
would certainly put another terrific tool at your disposal.

Thanks for making your offer. I hope you derive as much benefit from
it as we who received the prints have. I think I'll keep my set as
examples for comparison so I might say occasionally if I've done well
" Now THIS is a Tyler type print!" and smile.

Best regards
Duane
