Fibre papers have been used historically within photography for high quality fine art, exhibition or archiving purposes. It 'takes' the picture in a different way to popular photography paper as it colours to a depth, it doesn't just sit on top of the paper. For Black and White photography, it gives darker blacks and gives images a quality that isn't present in resin-coated papers. It also brings to life certain detail that just isn't captured in RC papers.
It also makes re-touching of images easier, and toning and handcolouring are also popular due to the 'arty' finish of the paper and the ease of manipulating the paper.
I want to use Fibre based paper for this project, as I want the blacks and whites captured by the IR film to be enhanced by the paper it is printed on.
The paper I'm using is Kentmere Document Art Grade 2.
