(early report, based on Ilford profiles and very few letter sized sheets)
subjective evaluation by Uwe
Steinmueller
The
Art of Digital Fine Art printing "....I am very impressed with the book you
are about to read. It’s information like this that has helped
to raise the quality of digital output and reduce the traditional
art world’s resistance to the use of digital tools in art.
It is a book written by someone who KNOWS fine art digital printmaking.
Uwe’s style is concise and to the point. This comprehensive
and complete guide to fine art digital printmaking should be included
in the library of anyone who is serious about making fine art digital
prints...."

Note: Harman Inkjet is the company that continues the legacy of the classic Ilford B&W papers. This paper is different and sold by Ilford (the company that continues the Ilford inkjet papers). Confusing! Remember for inkjet printing we have Ilford and Harman papers. Both very different companies with different products.
