Before the Pop-up Exhibition I wanted to test the different paper types that I could potentially print onto.I printed my photo for the exhibition onto 5 different paper types that we stock at uni.
These were:
Zen Pure White 150gms – Deep Blacks
White Linen 120gms – Textured, didn’t show fine details
Munken Polar Rough- Textured, didn’t show fine details
Monken Polar Smooth – Smooth finish, didn’t show depth of blacks
Phoenixmotion Xenon 150gms – Deep blacks, smooth finish. Used for exhibition.
The Zen Pure White allowed the blacks in the image to be deep and rich in colour. The White Linen and Munken Polar Rough were both textured papers however, they didn't show the fine details within my image. The Monken Polar Smooth had a smooth finish however, it didn't show the depth of the blacks within my image. The Phoenixmotion Xenonis the one I decided to use to print my images on for the Pop-Up Exhibition. It has a smooth finish and allowed the blacks within my image to be deep and rich in colour.
