Digital BW, The Print

Thanks.  I was hoping that the spray (in the belief that the Lyson product
could well be the same as the PremierArt product) would act as a cure-all
for RC prints as Paul seemed to be having quite some success with it.  Have
you tried spraying your UC/RC prints with this? Perhaps it is the MIS
Ultratones that are making the real difference...

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] RC Papers, Print Spray and Bronzing:  what am I
looking for?

I haven't tried Epson semi-gloss yet, but with Ilford Smooth Pearl and
similar RC papers I've tried bronzing is very evident.  Tilting the
paper back and forth under a light you should see a reflective,
metallic bronze tone at certain angles - particularly in the mid-tones.
  There could also be some gloss differential between paper white areas
and ink covered areas.  The brown color is from the PK and LK inks,
which are difficult to cool down on most RC papers.  You could try
using a much higher cool/warm ratio, but a profile made specifically
for this paper would probably be better.
