Legion Photo Matte

2002-04-11 by charles_bandes

Just ran my first test print on th new legion photo matte paper, and
I'm very impressed with the results. I used a file that I've been
having problems with on EAM - it shows some posterization on that
paper, but has much better tonal range on the legion material.

The paper is slightly brighter and slightly smoother than the epson
(the brightness leads me to worry that it probably has brighteners)
according to its specs, the paper is supposedly somewhat heavier than
the Epson material, but they feel similar, and the legion exhibits a
bit more curling when the print is still drying. (But not enough to be
worrysome.)

This paper costs a little more than EAM ($16 for 50 sheets for Epson,
$20 for Legion) but it's in the same ballpark, and so far I like it
better. 

Oh - the back of the sheet is white, no logos or anything, yay! :)
