Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Photo Rag 308 color--warmer than EEM?


Thanks for doing that measurement.

I went back and looked at identical sample prints I made last
year on about two dozen different papers. Sure enough, the
HPR sample appears to be a very light cream color when held
next to the EEM. And when I hold it next to a one of the sheets
I was using today, they match, exactly, to my eye.

I don't have a spectrophotometer, but the warmth in my HPR
is unmistakable, particularly when held side-by-side with EEM.

It would be interesting if other folks with fancy equipment
got the same result as you. I wouldn't know how to explain it,
though.

A bit more optical brightener in one of the papers and different
lighting conditions would fool anyone's eye, even spectrometres
without a UV filter.
Don't have the EEM here but PhotoRag is still a warm paper in my
endless collection of art papers (not just inkjet).
