So, I didn’t post anything yesterday, making it my first work day in quite some time without a post. And why? Easy: Writer’s Block.

I was wandering all over our page, looking at stuff, trying to find something I could expand on, but nothing was striking me. So, I finally manned it up and just logged in. And there’s this note saying “Ilford wide format paper, talk about Ilford wide format paper.” And, you know, rather than argue against how I’d even make that work as a post, I’m just going to run with it.

So, Ilford wide format paper, not to be mistaken for Epson wide format paper, I’m going to level with you, the last time I used Ilford it was in a darkroom, but, I do know I can buy their digital paper in “pearl” finish, which I know will be a “luster” or “semi-gloss” finish, which I’ve always liked more than pure gloss (prone to smudges and annoying reflected light) or matte (which always just seems kind of lifeless, I want my art to lie to me a little). And it claims instant dry ink setting, which I also like. Surely I’m not the only one alive who gets impatient watching a printer bring my image to life one pass at a time, right?

Ha, so there we go. Take that, persnickety little note.
