Well, you see, that is the point of the group. Whether we have any
particular current interest in the matter at hand, we are all here to either
learn or, when we have something to offer, to contribute. Well, OK, most of
us, anyway.
Many times I have added information to my "links," "tips and techniques,"
and "general saved" folders I have set up just for this group, even though
the specific information in the post might not be immediately applicable to
my current needs. For many here, this is a place to get answers to
perplexing questions which we have been unable to resolve through other
methods. For others, this is a place to attain the feeling of satisfaction
of having applied one's expertise to helping someone in need. Often,
participants find opportunities to fulfill both roles, occasionally being
the questioner and occasionally providing information from the fund which
one has built up either by experience or by having read here and elsewhere.
This is all obviated by offlist email replies. If you want an answer to your
question, then be prepared to come back here and find it. That way, we all
benefit from the responses. There are some really, seriously knowledgeable
people on this group. I would hate to think that there are valuable nuggets
of information about Photoshop and associated techniques that are adrift
afloat the mist because they were never submitted to the newsgroup, but only
to one individual.
Cheers,

than glossy papers. You can improve the contrast slightly by adding
an adjustment layer that is used just when printing on this type of
paper. Some people think the matt papers look "arty-er" than glossy.
If you put the print under glass it is harder to see the differences.
You might also want to repost the question in the
comp.periphs.printers group.

I'm just getting started on this bit I found the opposite to be true so
far. Using Moab Entrada fine art Bright the R1800 makes extraordinarily
black blacks. I was led to this paper as a somewhat more affordable
version of a Hammemeule (sp?) paper because it is supposed to provide
very rich colors. Moab also has a 'Natural' version which is yellowish,
what I got was 'Bright'. It's also possible I don't have all my profiles
set up properly.

One thought is matte is suitable for very large prints like 24" wide.
Glossy does get a little sharper but that doesn't matter with huge
prints. I think I prefer glossy on the R1800. Without glass, matte paper
looks cheap at 8x10 IMO.

I'm guessing matte may be suitable for putting directly behind glass
without separation because there's nothing to stick to the glass & get
messed up?

Yep, I posted about this in that group a few days ago.
