Perma Jet Portrait Classic

2003-04-15 by Stephen Kobrin

I received a sampler pack of Perma Jet papers from MIS and tried a 
print on Portrait Classic.  According to the MIS website the Permajet 
papers have a Hahnemühle base with a Perma Jet coating.  I use MIS VM 
inks with the Roark curves on my 1200.  The Portrait Classic printed 
well without adjustment -- at least to my eyes -- and appears to have 
the luminance of Hahnemühle Rag, but seems a bit smoother.  The 
downside is the cost -- MIS sells it for $50 for 25 sheets which is 
much more expensive than Hahnemühle Rag.  It is a thicker paper and I 
liked the result, but unless someone knows something about the 
coating that I do not, it does not seem to be worth the extra expense 
vis Rag, much less EAM.
