Digital BW, The Print

Tom, how does it compare with Eclipse Satine, currently my favorite?

Jerry, check out my initial post of 9/27 and my responses to Martin 
for my original comments.

Basically, the print I produced on the Eclipse Satine is my least 
favorite of the four papers I compared. The Eclipse Satine is clearly 
the whitest paper and produced a very nice print. All four papers are 
nice papers, but the best one for this image is the Photo Rag. Keep 
in mind that this is not a high quality photographic image I'm 
testing and I'm still pretty much a rookie with these inks and BW 
printing in general. So I'm not ready to discard the other papers yet.

Also, I'm using a specific curve to do the tests. I may find that 
another image with the same or a different curve will yield different 
results. When time allows, I intend to report on my comparative 
results from the restoration of a much higher quality photographic 
image. So, stay tuned.
