Digital BW, The Print

I have an R2400, standard K3 inkset.  For giggles I got a box of Kirkland
Glossy Photo paper - I recall stories of success with it in the past.
This paper is marked "Made In Mexico".

Printed the QTR 51-step wedge using PhotoPaperGlossy/ABW/Neutral/Dark,
measured it with SypderPrint 4.2.1, manually edited the output file to
51 steps, used QTR-icc to produce a profile.  This workflow easily
produces profiles that work very well to my eye.

I'm surprised how good the paper is; it's not Ilford Gold Fiber Silk
(which is my go-to high-quality paper these days), but it's a fine match
for the K3 inkset with relatively little gloss differential, certainly
better than Kodak Pro Inkjet photo paper.  I also note that the paper seems
to dry very quickly.

I was thinking of using this as a proofing paper, but, when lifetime
permanence isn't a major concern, I'll probably use this for general
printing.

Cheers -
