Digital BW, The Print

Hiyah Jim, 

Actually, looking at Martin's post...I see I made a mistake (oops)...Martin is correct.  

I was thinking the thread was a continuation of the questions regarding Torchon...(don't recall what Media Street calls that one).  

If Royal Ren is Photorag...then use photorag profiles.  

Good luck, 

Steadman

      Thanks for the tips Martin and Steadman!  

      I did do a print over the weekend that I have printed before on EAM.  On
  the EAM I have been very happy with the way it turns out, all though when I
  did the same print on the Royal Ren. the picture was washed out and very
  gray toned, no real blacks and no real whites, but I printed the same way I
  do with the EAM, and the EAM looks great in my humble opinion.  I am just
  wondering where I went wrong?  This may sounds silly but is there a
  preferred side to print on with this paper?  I looked for the paper work but
  could find anything that stated one side over the other, all though the
  surfaces do feel different.  I will probably just do an experiment using the
  other side, it's just this stuff isn't cheap as I am sure you all know.  

      If your going to print and you just want to increase the blacks in you
  images is the general way of doing this through curves?  OK, thanks again.

  Jim P

  Jim,

  Tyler's RGB separation curves for MIS-VM ink and the Epson 1280 were
  specifically made for Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, aka Media Streets Royal Ren. So
  if you use the proper settings for those curves you will be right on target,
  even better than on EAM. I generally never change the paper thickness lever
  on my 1280's. The 189 gsm feeds just fine.

  I don't know if spraying this paper will gain you much.

  I have never used it for color. You will have to experiment with the driver
  settings or have a custom ink/paper profile made which is probably the best
  way to go. You might want to ask that question on the Archival Color list,
  too.
