Digital BW, The Print

Hello
I have used osprey velvet a lot. I have it profiled
with UT inks using QTR on an epson 1200. Its a nice
paper for certain uses. Its dmax is low, like 1.48 or
so, if i try to bump it up while profiling it just
creates a glossy build up that looks bad. Also
printing big areas of black can result some weird
white streaks, not banding lines but almost feathery
swilrs. So for photos with lots of black or wide
dynamic range I don't recommend it at all. But its
midtones are fantastic and long. So for low contrast
subjects that need long subtle midtones it is quite
nice. The feel is nice too, Hawk Mtn's Merlin is one
of the stiffest sheets I know of while Osprey is one
of the "floppiest" its almost fabric like.
hope that helps
