RE: [Digital BW] Ilford Smooth Glossy

2003-06-23 by Paul Roark

I should qualify my earlier post by saying that on most RC papers, just
changing to the MIS Photo Black is all that is required to get good RC
prints.  However, on the Ilford Smooth Glossy I did notice some dust in the
deep shadows, and it appears that it could be due to the MIS RC solution
being not quite as good as the Epson coated pigs solution.  It may be that
using a different paper or a light spray is a better way to deal with the
issue than messing around with expensive Epson inks.

What waxes would be best to try for that approach?

With the sprays, are you seeing the dmax increase that I found with the
finger oil?
