Re: PRINTASIA Fine Art Matt Paper by Ilford - Printing Side?

2003-06-25 by sceptre12345

Shilesh,
That could very well be, since I'm judging prints side by side. To my 
eyes EEM has the deeper blacks.

William Turner aka Wells Rivers and others brand names has been 
around quite some time and the W.R. profiles were included with the 
original Piezo software some three years ago. Could be that at the 
time of the densitometric test no other paper had deeper blacks.

But you mention (MIS VM black) which is more recent, so that kind of  
dismisses what I'm saying. Maybe Paul knows ?

Regards,
Andre
