RE: [Digital BW] find I prefer matte

2010-01-31 by E.Neilsen

I find that William Turner 190 with a 1:3 (gloss:matte) spray is a great use
of matte paper with a slight shine; my attempt to match Agfa 118 semi matte.
The trick of course is how the spray is applied in both thickness and
method.

Yes.I find that this is the most significant reason why I prefer matte
papers. It is the surface itself that enhances on the best of them.
I suspect this is also (along with longevity and non OBA objectives) why
some of us keep working with the non-coated papers and trying to bring up
d'max on them as well.There are many fine art papers with flat out beautiful
surface characteristics.
