I think a pattern is beginning to appear (not addressed to you specifically, Adam, but in general). Most of the folks who think digital prints look better than optical, actually do not like photographic prints. No wonder they are sooooooo ready to jump on the digital bandwagon.

Ugh, I despise glossy paper. I'd rather give up a little DMax for a little character, which the matte papers have.

I was at a print swap yesterday. Out of 18 participants, only a couple used glossy papers. A couple printed on some semi-gloss (Epson Luster and Agfa Multigrade with a semigloss surface) and everybody else used matte. I printed on Moab Entrada Bright. No issues with fuzziness, and none with fingerprints or glare (the two biggest issues with glossy paper).

I always wonder why some artsey paper. Photo quality is judge by glossy print quality. I always wonder how you guys get those sharper than a razor prints on fuzzy paper. I guess some of us have different standards than others.

OK.  On a nice high quality art paper.  Hang it in a nice bright sunny
room. Will compare prints next year at this time.
