RE: pt/pd mounting
Because it's not quite the same thing!
[Surprised]
- You don't have much paper choices with S/G but you can
choose many different papers for Pt/Pd based on a wider criteria /
choices of texture, color, weight...
- Coating the print with PU doesn't necessarily imply
removing / undermatting the brushed edges
- Once finely calibrated, making a fine Pt/Pd print (at
least having a print which is exactly you've imagined) is considerably easy from
making a fine S/G print. (That is in the case of using digital negatives of
couse.)
- S/G is too sharp for digital negatives (at least for
inkjet negatives).
...and it's still not quite the same thing since the image
is in the paper fiber not over it. Coating the print with a glossy finish
doesn't make it look exactly like a S/G print.
Hope this helps.
