I thought that it would be more interesting to print on different textured papers keeping in theme with the fact that I have already been creative and experimental with textures within my editing workflow.
I therefore purchased 5 different types of artistic paper to test printing my final images on however on the majority they saturated too much of the ink, lost detail within the print and also the contrast of the image seemed ever so much different from my computer screen image.
After further researching I have come to realise that the images may have been printed much better if I had of used Ink Aid to treat my non-photographic paper beforehand.
Ink Aid is a product that allows you to coat the surface of a high majority of alternative surfaces for which you are able to print upon and still achieve an excellent quality print.
inkAID™ coatings provide the ability to ink jet print on virtually any type of substrate with clean, clear, crisp imaging with brilliant colors and high definition.
There was 1 type of textured paper which added to the overall effect on a few of the final images, displaying a sense that the saturated colour in fact added to an old-style quality usually obtainable from film darkroom printing.
But with any type of finished print and any type of photograph they are all open to subjectivity therefore I decided to print all of my final images on two types of paper, 1 non-photographic textured paper & 1 glossy photographic paper, giving the viewer a choice on preferred output.
