Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

Greetings from the Nations Capital...it's been a while since we spoke.

Question: Since Small Gamut inks are dye-based, have you ever tried them on
Somerset Velvet uncoated paper?

I know, I know...the d-max is not as great as on coated papers, but that is
not an issue for me...I like the soft painterly look I get on uncoated
papers.

I am considering SG and would agree that glossy prints are a bit tacky and
not salable at all!!!

I use a lot of Somerset Velvet uncoated with my dye based 7000...I love the
look and the price of the paper, but am tiring of the color crossover issues
on subtly toned prints.  SG or even VM Sepia may be a good solution.

Any suggestions on how to profile SG inks...I have a Spectrocam and Profiler
Pro software...what do you think...any experience with SG on uncoated
papers?

Regards...Craig
