RE: Wet vs. Dry

Alexis,

(Presuming it was made on matte paper) If you coat your inkjet print
with clear glossy polyurethane wood finish - giving it a glossy surface
- I'm sure it will be as beatiful as its silver counterpart. I've read
reports stating this practice can give dmax figures as high as log 2.1.
And when you use quadtone pigmented inks, you can't see dots even with a
4x loupe.

Regards,
Loris.

Dear Tom

I think that digital prints can be stunning and of course you have so
much more control over the image. However, a beautifully and
masterfully printed silver toned print can be a masterpiece, a digital
print can only be a fantastic image. There is something about the
silver, selenium, gold or whatever deposit on the paper. I use both
techniques and when I place two prints of the same image worked to the
optimum specification for each medium, the silver print wins hands
down. All I can say is that when exhibiting and selling through a
gallery your work stands or falls by what people see, so I always show
my best work.

Alexis
