adrift from.. [Digital BW] Re: Matte FiberGloss Like Tri-X Experience

 

what about a matte that could be 'varnished', matte/gloss, (much like most
do with canvas)

and then framed without glass?

What I find strange is that in the darkroom I never liked matte paper
much... too dull and flat. I preferred Ilford MGIV Glossy, dried face up on
a fiberglass screen to end up with a semi-glossy finish, then flattened in a
dry mount press.

Now, in digital printing I find I prefer matte over the glossy (or
semi-glossy) print - to the point where I'm looking for a different way of
framing or displaying. I don't want to put a matte print under glass, it
would detract. (am using Premier Art FineArt Hot Press 205). Probably should
start a new thread, perhaps I'm drifting - I see we have a new title for
these recent messages.
