Well, as usual...outstanding job by mech!
Any time someone lays out an idea for something, mech is always willing to test it through readings and screenshots.
Also, as expected, BW comes through with flying colors! And, the ideas that Bill comes up with always seem to stand the test of time. Maybe someday people will give such ideas the benefit of the doubt in the future, based on the track record. OTS neutrals, neutral laminates, Black Widow...not a bad resume if you ask me.
OK, enough singing those guys' praises...I don't want them getting a big head.
Again, great job on the testing mech! This should prove things conclusively. It's easy to see that BW broadens the range of shades (from whitest white to blackest black) that the audience sees (higher perceived contrast ratio). Previously, it was shown against a lighter grey, and BW's whites were equal and the blacks were far superior. Now, it's been shown against a dark neutral of the same shade, and the blacks are equal and the whites are superior. The off-axis shots are also telling...even at (what appears to be) a fairly steep angle, the BW whites still hold their own when compared to the neutral grey.
My apologies, but I'm going somewhat
for a minute
I can't wait for the weather to break...since I already own an air compressor, I bought the same sprayer mech has so I can do HVLP spraying. OK, I kinda bought it...I ordered it, then has it shipped to my mother-in-law, who wrapped it and gave it to me for Christmas. I guess that's one way to avoid gift returns.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the conclusion regarding the feasibility of spraying BW instead of rolling. I need someone with more spray-painting experience than I have (none other than spray paint cans and one job with a Preval sprayer) to lay out the process. I'm definitely not the "last of the great paint rollers", so I'm hoping BW works equally well when sprayed and that I can get a nice uniform surface.
