RE: [Digital BW] OT: Ilford Printasia paper

2003-11-23 by Billy Cobb

I was a touch more adventurous a few weeks ago and purchased Printasia in
13x19.
  I'm primarily printing PhotoShop QuadTones via an SC3000 with O.E.M. inks
at present, and didn't actually expect to see profiles for the paper ink
combo I'm using, but I would luv one if'n nebody out there happens to have
generated a serviceable profile for that paper on a 3000!

    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.
