Hi All ?
I wasn?t quite sure where to post this, so forgive me if it?s slightly outside t he bounds of the forum.
I?m looking for suggestions for mounting and mat board. I print on Ilford MG an d Ilford Warm Tone almost exclusively. I tone both in selenium, and actually ge t the MG to shift tone somewhat.
I?ve been using the ?natural white? from Light Impressions. It?s slightly warm, and it?s often a nice compliment to a cool tone print. Sometimes it very much not the right thing, though.
I?ll let you know up front that I really don?t like the ?bright white? surfaces. They hurt my eyes. Too stark. I spend more time squinting at the mat than I do looking at the print. So I guess I?m looking for something with a little den sity to it, but not an obvious color (although a little is OK). I know you can get a sampler pack from most places, but I wanted to gain the benefit of your ex perience before I went any further.
Thanks, as always.
