Digital BW, The Print

Andre,

>>...Epson Photo Paper (SO41271) and Epson Glossy Photo paper (SO41141). 

(They are the same paper.)
 

>Paul, What's your take on Epson Photo Paper concerning dmax with the UT 
>inksets and longevity.

It may depend on which system you have.  I only have UT2 loaded now, but the
dark gray (magenta) is the same as the UT dark gray (cyan).  When I just
print this dark gray at 100%, I get a dmax of only 1.67, and it looks a bit
weak because it is a warm 1.67.

With the UT2 inkset and printing the 100% patch with M (dark cold gray) and
C (dark carbon UT-C), I get a dmax of 1.9.  Because this black is cool, it
looks good and black to me.

That's interesting.  However, since the interior paper fibers are acidic,
the paper will not last very long.  I'd give it 30 years, like the Ilford
Pearl.  However, for inexpensive B&W photos for distribution without
spraying, it's hard to beat this cheap paper.  (I buy mine at Costco.)
