Re: mottled yellow position in QTR calibration test print

2014-07-06 by paulmwhiting@...

Paul,

Haven't run my Calibration print yet, but I did fill my yellow cart with the bona fide 2% dilution. Topped off the others while I was at it... sure like those manual reset carts.

I'm using your C6b base, and Premier Art FineArt Smooth 205. Isn't EEM the same paper, but marketed by Epson under an agreement with Premier Art? That's my recollection anyway.

When I was doing film and paper photography I learned after some experimenting with different papers and developers to stick to Tri-X or HP4+, D-76, Dektol, and Ilford MuliGrade. I thought it best to stick with one combination till I was limited by it and then branch out. Got some very nice prints, if I do say so.

Same now: I'm sticking with the Premier Art paper and your C6b and Eboni for the time being. I do want to try that relatively new Epson Hot Press Natural you've mentioned, but not yet.

Will let you know soon how the Calibration print goes...

Paul
