Re: [Digital BW] Brightcube semi matte

2002-07-11 by Robert Morrison

This is called bronzing...you are not spraying enough...how many coats what
are spray are you using?  Bronzing is gone for me with semi-matte (and other
semi-gloss papers, eg., Kodak Ultima) after one coat of spray...but I spray
with 4 light coats to increase dmax further and to make sure the pigment is
sealed.  Semi-matte performs identically with respect to this as all of the
other semi-gloss/luster papers that I've tried.  Gloss papers typically
bronze even worse...what inks set are using?  I've used MIS FS-N inks in the
past...but I'm getting stunning results with the Piezotones.

PS  I submitted a sprayed semi-matte print in the July DigitalBW print
exchange...if you know anyone on that list you can see it.
