Digital BW, The Print

If you would like to send us a sample image to print I can have it printed next week when I can get some free time with the printer. I will put the image along with a 21 step wedge on the test prints.

Please send the request to support@... and include your shipping details.  If you put my name in the subject line along with the request for EB6 it will get forwarded to me.

I will send free test prints for anyone in the USA that would like one, but the EB6 will only be in the printer for a day or two before we will have to pull it for other test products, and I will not be able to guarentee prints once we pull it.

I have a surplus of our 180 GSM Premier Art matte paper that I can use to run the prints, other papers would be subject to paper sample prices.

I know that if I saw samples, I'd be able to evaluate coloration without a problem, but viewing an array of values is just too disconnected from my visual experience.

My preferred paper at this point is Entrada Bright, but readings from any paper would be welcome. I'm interested in a color range that's just on the warm side of neutral.

Both the absolute values and the change from the paper white affect the impression of warmth.  I think you'll find the papers with the low Lab B rise probably meet your criteria of "just on the warm side of neutral."
