Re: [Digital BW] Bockingford Inkjet paper review

2003-03-18 by Ernst Dinkla

Harald, Andrew,

A very detailed report with most of the pros and cons of this
paper described.

It doesn't settle the fade resistance claims, something that is
hard to do in the time given.

It showed that the water resistance is not as claimed.

What I did miss in the test is comparing it with "untreated
Bockingford paper", the watercolour paper you can get in art
supply shops .

Especially when Andrew writes in his conclusion: " It excels in
areas where prints will be handled, and the "embedded in the
paper" feel is a unique--and if I might say "IRIS inkjet" look
that I remember from using uncoated papers with that technology
over the years "

I would have thought that buying some plain Bockingford would
have made this test more meaningful.

I fear it isn't the revolution in inkjet technology as it was
presented in the PMA report.

Ernst
