Oriental Graphica FB Tests

2003-10-26 by Carl Schofield

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.
