I've also tried the new Oriental Graphica fiber base glossy paper and made a set of profiles for this paper and the 2200 (UC inks) using QuadtoneRIP 2.0. As others have noted, it is a heavy, somewhat stiff, high gloss paper. B&W prints exhibit slight bronzing, (not as bad as other RC papers), but the appearance of the print is more like a ferrotyped B&W silver print, rather than an air dried glossy. If you like the high gloss look, this paper is fine. Dmax was 2.03 and base density 0.03. I've placed a set of QTR profiles (warm, cool, and sepia) in an archive labeled OFB.sit, in the QuadToneRIP 2.0 folder on my filesharing web site for anyone that wants to try this paper with QTR. If you want a good neutral B&W try blending the warm and cool profiles at warm 30% and cool 70%. You will need the latest version of QTR that has the new dotsize weightings and a revision for generating and using sepia profiles. Filesharing site: http://homepage.mac.com/scho/FileSharing2.html
