Digital BW, The Print

Just coated some BW prints on Museo and Eclipse last night.  I ran gray
wedges and black patches just to see where the dmax is at these days.  I
printed with John Woolf's work flow and Piezo inks.  This yields an uncoated
dmax of 1.57 with both Museo and Eclipse.  When the papers are coated the
dmax goes to 2.05 for Eclipse and 2.10 for Museo.  The Museo prints have a
high gloss, while the Eclipse prints just have a satin sheen.

In my experience, this dmax is equal to or exceeds pigment prints on gloss
papers, even when sprayed with Krylon.

For those of you have been experimenting with coatings (Martin)...you owe it
to yourself to print on Eclipse and coat.  If you thought the prints that
you have seen in the past look "plastic"...I think you will really like
this.
