[Leica] It's your choice!

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

If you want to push the envelope still further, try printing on different
papers. I am testing Canson papers at the present moment, and I am busy
printing the same prints on 6 different Canson and Hahnemuhle paper stocks
in order to compare the results between themselves in order to choose one
baryta (semigloss) and one each of smooth and textured fine art matte paper
for printing for an upcoming exhibition of my recent works in November.

The results will astonish you in the variations, more so if you use a RIP
for printing that will coax out a lot more shadow detail.

Just an aside, FWIW - all the B&W photos you post are totally flat on my
calibrated, professional quality monitor, in a room with a precise 60
lumens of D50 light falling in the viewing area. There is no white point,
no black point, just a uniform sea of mid grey.

Cheers
Jayanand
