Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the reply Paul.

 

The best density I have achieved was with QTR but the Ilford paper is
definitely better than Silver Rag. I was hoping someone might have
experience with the different Baryta papers and might be able to suggest
which paper to try next.

 

I did have to deal with the pizza wheel problem. I found that only the
single wheels left marks. I removed the singles and left the doubles and set
the printer up for thick paper and have not had the problem since.  

 

So would I be correct in assuming you would recommend a different ink set
with the 1400? Would that be the HP inks?

UT14 inks?

 

  

It's been a while since I used UT14, but it looks like Museo SR may have had
the highest dmax, I'm guessing the one output that has the high one was done
with QTR. You might try just printing a Calibration Mode test print to see
if you'll be able to get what you're looking for from QTR. You may find you
have to balance the dmax with the pizza wheel susceptibility.
