Re: [Digital BW] Looking for a neutral matte paper with Eboni

2012-07-10 by Sylvain M.

Thx Ernst. 

However, you give the Lab values for the paper itself
only. What I'm looking for is a paper giving neutral tones with EBONI
inks, in the high lights as well as in the shadows. 

Regards 

Sylvain.

me an advice? Thanks in advance! Sylvain

to zero you will have a paper that is neutral. With a negative b value
it will be cooler. If you keep the cursor on the paper name in
SpectrumViz the Lab values of the paper white are shown. For example
Somerset Museum Rag 300 gsm, 100% cotton, Lab 97.0 0.4 0.3 340+ paper
