RE: [Digital BW] a and b values on Canson Platine

Hello "H"!

 

Before responding to your question allow me to provide a bit of background concerning the answer provided by Richard Boutwell.

 

Those who read many of the forums concerned with fine art black and white digital printing know that Richard Boutwell is doing some very interesting and informative work in connection with his forth coming EBook about QTR profiles and relevant aspects of digital ink jet printing.  Indeed,  I suspect that many here and on other forums have read some of Richard's posts.

 

I met Richard some years ago and have developed considerable admiration for the thorough way that he investigates subjects that pertain to aspects of digital capture

 

Until Richard's book is published and available, perhaps the information accessible via the link below will provide some of the information you seek.

Good printing!

Subject: [Digital BW] a and b values on Canson Platine

 

  

Tried asking this on the Piezo group but came up with nothing, so...

 

Has anyone taken measurements of a and b values for the various Piezo ink sets on Platine? It would make choosing so much easier since I could compare with what I'm getting via the Epson inks/QTR.

Thanks,
H
