I just compared two prints, both printed on an Epson 4880 minutes apart.
Both are black and white prints of a scanned 8x10 neg.
The first print was done on MOAB Juniper, a paper I'm quite fond of; the second was done on Canson Baryta Prestige (340gsm). The Canson paper was a sample pack, it's not yet in stores.
What I noticed right away is that the print looks sharper on the Canson, some fine details are better-resolved, but I told myself "That can't be right!" Or can it?
It's a digital print, so why would one be sharper? I'm sure i didn't mess with settings between papers, I only changed the paper profile in PS.
So what gives, man?
Thanks in advance, and feel free to make me look foolish by pointing out something obvious or already well-known to everyone.
