I had also taken some pictures in monochrome. I like to try out different papers. So for some of these black and whites, I printed on Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk, which gives the images a warm look. The surface of the paper has a rough feel to it. I love the way it looks. Then I tried printing a monochrome image of the Santorini hillside on the Ilford Smooth Fine Art Paper. I didn't like the result. Sometimes it looks pleasing - other times not. Then I reprinted the hillside image on Epson's Ultra Premium Glossy and those were much better on glossy. I dry my images in the same racks I use for my darkroom prints. I layer them with the light weight papers that are used in between my non-glare glass. I save them just for 'stacking' purposes. Comes in handy. Digital prints also need drying time. If you don't let them dry for a day or two and you immediately mat and frame them (with glass), the remaining moisture in the print will later fog up the glass - and that ain't good! It means you have to take them apart, clean the glass and re-frame them.
Today I'm waiting to hear back from the High Hand Gallery's powers that be, as to whether or not the flyer has been approved. I hope so, I don't want to do that again. At least not now.
I had to 'warm' this image up so you could get an idea of what it really looks like on the Gold Fibre Silk.
