Thanks Ann - I'm honored by the comparison (but have a long ways to go to get to that point...) > > I THINK the font you are using is the same one I used for this > lady's jewelery shop but I can't find it again now - having forgotten > how to extract the list of font examples (I used to know stuff) > Do you know the name of it? > > here is her page with my banner (and photos) > http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=72339 Hmmm - I'm using tempus sans ITC. I don't think it's the same font - I just typed "made" in it and the letters don't touch - with the font you used the letters manage to stream togehter. > > Btw - she is a teacher trying to peddle her original jewelry designs - > hope she sells a lot so she will be back for more photos. It looks like nice stuff - hopefully she'll be back. The website banner is nice too! > > and how archival is Enhanced Matte from Epson? Why did they change it > from "Archival" ? I wonder the same thing. I use the Enhanced matte for day to day printing and for mono prints. For color I use the Premium Semigloss (which seems to be more of a plastic sheet than paper.) I'm not sure how 'archival" either the Archival Matte or Enhanced Matte papers are. Epson talks about how color fast they are and I can confirm that the colors from the the archival Epson printers I use - the 2000p and 2200 - seems to hold up for a long time. I have prints on hand that have been out in the open for several years and I see no signs of fading or color shift. BUT - to be archival a paper has to be at least acid free and preferably buffered against the inevitable atmospheric acids it encounters. As the years clock by I'm beginning to see a tanning to some of the Enhanced and Archival matte prints I have on hand. These are not the ones matted and bagged - those seem fine. But rather, prints stored in the open air. the portions of the paper exposed to the air seems most subject to this effect. So I wonder about the archival qualities WRT acidity. FWIW - I've been moving toward the water color paper for many prints (the moon set image has only been presented in water color paper) and plan to move to the fine art papers for future prints. For landscapes I've gone to larger prints (in the 34 x 26 inch range) printed on a Chromira (which uses regular photo paper - the lab I work with uses Kodak Endura.) The landscapes are shot on the 6x7 since there is so much scrubby detail in them. > > and while I'm answering questions,,, "'why can't a mouse swallow a > streetcar?." There are no more street cars?
