Digital BW, The Print

Hans,

>Have no experience from printing on glossy paper and have now the 
>possibility to try MIS UT1 with PhotoBlack.
>Would appreciate any suggestion for a glossy or a semiglossy paper 
>(available in Europe) that could be used for exhibition purpose.

I think the most impressive image might be on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl.
After it has dried, give it 3 - 4 light sprays with Lyson Print Guard.  This
gets rid of most of the "bronzing" and protects the print. Use Photo Quality
Ink Jet or Glossy Film paper setting to reduce the ink load.

Oriental Graphica FB would be near the bottom of my list -- weak dmax,
overly sensitive surface, and over priced.

The only "archival" glossy paper is the Epson Premium series.  I favor the
Premium Semigloss.  Again, it should be sprayed to reduce the bronzing and
protect the surface.  This can take a full load of ink -- Photo Paper
setting for example.

I did not distribute curves for glossy papers.  Frankly, UT2 was partially
about improving glossy paper performance.  Dirk Hobman has made some curves.
You might ask him about curves and workflow.  He's on this list.
