Re: [Digital BW] Arches Hot Press 140, K=2.40

2002-10-20 by Jerry Olson

Evening Paul,

I didn't much care for any of the varnished prints I've seen from the
group. Just don't like the look. Wonder if hot pressed arches smooth
papers would be as nice as the cold pressed? Maybe less grain.  I have
many sheets of Stonehenge and Arches left to experiment on. (22x30 inch
sheets).  Any ideas?

I'm still getting the best black and white prints using the 1160 printer
annd Generations 4 inks with enhanced black ink. Tobie made a profile
that is so accurate with color inks, that the black and white prints are
extremely neutral, with no color
crossovers.  For some reason, I get blacker blacks using color inks than
the VM inkset with enhanced blacks. I just may switch over to
Generations color inks in my 1280 and use that. They'll probably outlast me.
