OT: Ilford Printasia paper

2003-11-23 by Steven Karafyllakis

Hi all;
This is rather OT, but I know everyone on the list does at least 
some color printing/proofing, so I though I'd offer:
I recently picked up an 11x17 paqck of a relatively new glossy 
Ilford paper they're calling Printasia (in an atrocious package 
aimed at prepubescent kids). It's a dye-only micro-porous paper, but 
it has very nice weight and stiffness, and costs less than the other 
premium glossies. After profiling it printed absolutely beautifully, 
the profile is spot-on, easily the most acurate one my so-so Monaco 
EZcolor has turned out. If anyone out there is using MIS dye inks in 
a 1280 or 780 (and maybe a new 900) and would like to the paper, I'd 
be happy to e-mail them the custom profile for it, Contact me off-
list.
