Digital BW, The Print

anyone know how to identify it? The tongue trick isn't working, and
getting a little gross anyway...
Both side seem the same. No instructions.
Doing a few tests with some samples, odd paper...

Thanks,
Tyler

Yea it's bizarre, I can't tell either. The only way I can tell is the 
curl of the roll :-) .

Doesn't it say VIEW FROM THIS SIDE like slide mounts? Now, if you  
would use rolls, YOU would know :)

well I just walked right into that now didn't I?

gee, come to think of it... maybe I've been printing on the backs of
the rolls and doing the whole thing wrong?!?!
No wonder my dmax sucks

thanks kids, Jimmy set me straight.

Hi Tyler,
I discovered that with sheets of Photo Rag, carefully feeling the cut  
edges shows that the raised edge side is the coated one. I'm imagining
that the paper started as a roll, and when cut has that slight edge  
from the inside surface. Perhaps the same would be true with  
Portfolio Rag??

Hi Tyler:

I use the fingernail scratch test. Coated side has more resistance  
(sort of like sandpaper). Putting a very small mark with a pencil in  
a corner of the non-print side as they come out of the box can also  
be helpful.

Hope that helps,

Andrew
