Yuck...
That's why I was trying to sound an alarm in earlier messages about
the
Hahnemuhle Fine Art Paper, which seems to me to be chock-full of OBs,
despite its manufacturer's claim that it is a paper for "fine
artists".
Marco,
The colors of Fine Art Pearl really do pop off the page in daylight,
compared with, say, Epson Luster - no doubt in large part because of
the OBs. Much of this effect is lost when FA Pearl is mounted behind
UV-absorbing glass, something that many photographers don't realize.
I searched Wilhelm's web site, and could find zero mention of Fine
Art Pearl, even though the paper has been around for some time now.
I'm wondering how W-R selects papers to test - submissions by
manufacturers, or ???
Interestingly, nearly all current B&W photographic papers contain
OBs. (http://www.wilhelm-research.com/pdf/
HW_Book_17_of_20_HiRes_v1a.pdf The Display and Illumination of Color
and B&W Prints). Digital doesn't seem so bad in comparison.
I would like to see some specific testing data from W-R on Hahnemühle
FA Pearl and other papers containing OB's.
