Budd,
I got the package a few days ago, thanks. Hey, you sent plenty - enough to cover half of my kitchen shelves too !! Shame you didn't include a sample of a loud flower pattern too - it would remind me of my childhood home
Well, just from some quick tests, I agree that the Contact paper does work as a beam smoother. But it cuts light output much more than the WriteRight does. Since you already lose some output with WriteRight, the difference is a major factor to me.
For tests, I used the same style Mag-Lite lamp, and compared a 4C Mag with the Contact paper to a 3D with WriteRight. Both had smooth close-up beams, but the 3D managed to project substantially further than the 4C.
One of the benefits of the WriteRight is that it actually makes the yellow-coloured Mag beam whiter. To me, that's a worthwhile improvement in itself.
The Contact paper doesn't do that - it may even yellow the beam a little more than it already is.
People have posted that the WriteRight meant for colour PDA screens is smooth - that is, it doesn't have the texture which has the positive effect on the beam.
I guess the texture on the WriteRight for B+W screens is the major difference between the Contact and any other film which you might try.
Did you get the WriteRight sample I sent you yet ? Any views on it ?
