Does anyone know of a good - for B&W - matte inkjet paper that has an adhesive backing? Avery 8255 is a plain paper version of such, but it's not really up to the quality I'd like to find. Thanks, Paul www.PaulRoark.com

Hi Paul, I've been using Lexjet's Water-Resistant Self Adhesive Polypropylene http://www.lexjet.com/lexjet/product_disp.asp?dept%5Fid=12076&pf%5Fid=PPSAOB . It only comes in rolls but it has a matte surface and seems to have an excellent tone range. It looks very much like the image Jim (B&W Gallery) had on the lightbox in his print room. It can be viewed both with transmitted as well as reflected light. I've been having very good results with this media with both black & white and color inks. It seems to like mk black a little better than pk. Also, it works well with Piezography inks. Digital Art Supplies also carries a version with a removable adhesive backing. Good luck, Chuck Chuck Behrman chuck@... --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "pr_roark" <pr_roark@...> wrote:

Epson's Enhanced Adhesive Synthetic Paper I've printed (Advanced B&W) a few B&W exhibitions (scans from 20 - 70 years old negatives) which have received raving reaction even from the old-time darkroom guys. Aivars

A question to both of you: Have you had success with your adhesive papers over time, on the wall? I ask becasuse my various attempts at attaching prints to backing myself, w/o using a press, have constantly met with disaster. The worst was a show in which areas peeled away over time and had to be tacked back down throughout the show. It was a nightmare. Please let me know how you are using the adhesive papers. Thanks.

I've been using two papers for a couple years and one other for about a year. Lexjet Water Resistant Self Adhesive Polypropylene (permanent) & Digital Art Supplies Sticky Indoor Backlit (removable) have both shown very good results both in print quality and as far as adhesion. Both materials have a translucent white base. The third is Lexjet Phototex cloth material that can be used as a removable wallpaper. I've found that the image quality of this material is not as acute as the others because it is a cloth base rather than polypropylene. However, the print quality is very good and the material can easily be removed from a painted surface without damage. I'm using both Piezography inks and ConeColor inks on all three materials with excellent results. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Yvonne Muller" <bellvale@...> wrote:

Another possibility is using one of the adhesive backing products that are available. I know Epson makes one. 3M's positionable mounting adhesive is another product that will allow you to apply adhesive to the print without a spray. And then you get full paper choice! granger www.thesilveriris.com --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "pr_roark" <pr_roark@...> wrote:

Dave, The submission guidelines includes this statement: "Only horizontal (landscape) orientation photographs are accepted". What an odd requirement! Many of my photographs are in portrait and square format. Is the format such an important consideration to *disallow* anything but landscape? Please explain this strange restriction. Thanks, Andrew [ for those of you on the QTR email list, sorry for the crosspost ]

I believe this is a less-than-creative method of assuring continuity between slides in a slideshow. As odd as such a restriction seems, I recently was teaching at a major workshop, where a big name instructor proclaimed to the students that images should always be shot in landscape mode: that was how people see, that is how TV and movies are shot, and it was how still photos should be shot. Had I not been a guest speaker in his class, I might have pointed out that books and magazines don't follow that rule, portraits don't follow that rule, and that such restrictions might make his life simpler (especially in assembling a student slideshow), but they would make my photography much less dynamic and creative. If a static frame for a slideshow is needed, and if the person determining it is biased towards landscape instead of neutral or vertical orientations, then I usually suggest matting all slides on a black background on the required size, proportion, and orientation, instead of proclaiming that the world is flat.

I believe, in this case, it was posted for their home page. We are talking computer screens here and within their layout and to give it maximum size within there system and without a redesign, a landscape format works. I too however, bristle at the suggestion that photos should only be taken any one way. I think I'd have gotten up and walked out knowing that even if the rest of the talk had some value, the supposition of the speaker too great to over come that constant head banging, What the heck is this guy on?

C. David, Thanks for your thoughtful analysis. You may very well be right, as the contest talks about a slide show. I think, however, what you may have done is give Dave a convenient way out, without having him take the time and energy to explain for himself. Andrew

The orientation of the ACP home page slide show is horizontal. Vertical images this space turn out to be very small. Square images have large margins on either side. We want the flow of the slide show to be consistently horizontal -- both for photographs and for announcements. It's not that we think vertical or square photographs are in any way bad, they just don't fit our current format. We'll have other competitions in the future that do not have this restriction. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, Andrew Sharpe <asharpe@...> wrote:

Most likely the same material will be available under another brand here. Any clue? I will further check out the Epson material. I can't find any specific info about the appearance, but that fact it has been mentioned as reply here I assume it is matte indeed, right? Joost

Only allowing a 'landscape' format is certainly an interesting decision to make, and judging by the reaction of some posts, probably not that well received. I wonder if the competition organisers aren't worried that this, in my view, rather ridiculous rule will only make a mockery of their competition. That is certainly my own personal initial reaction to hearing this. To restrict the images aspect ratio for the benefit of viewing via a website seems, well, just plain silly.

Most of the on-line label companies have this. They call it bumper sticker stock. In both laser and inkjet. Search data labels. ===============

I am astonished about the negative vibes coming from out on this forum and others because of the horizontal orientation limitation of the ACP home page contest. Some of the comments seem to imply some kind of artistic censorship is being imposed on the photographic community. I wonder how many people doing the complaining have visited the ACP web site, seen the home page slide show, and read the submission guidelines, and clicked the "Why?" button for an explanation of this limitation. C'mon people, ACP is looking for very specifically oriented photographs for a specific role on the home page of the web site. It will be national and international exposure for five photographers. If you have something to submit then please do so. If your best work doesn't meet the horizontal requirements then it is hardly the end of the world. There are other competitions, for crying out loud. Dave. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "nickskin0" <nick@...> wrote:
