RE: [Digital BW] Arches uncoated watercolor

2004-05-12 by Paul Roark

Tom,

>Anybody got a favorite retailer for Arches Uncoated WC paper?

Dick Blick and Cheap Joes are the places to check.  I also noticed that
Michaels carries this.  The bins can be all mixed up, and the papers can be
bent, but you might just look at the SLO store to see what they have.  I'm
probably not going to do much printing with Arches HP (the best -- up to
1.56 dmax with UT7), but if I were, I would see if Joyce (Dave's wife) could
get an unopened batch of the paper at the store for me to pull some paper
from before the employees and customers mix and mess up the paper bin.

I'll be curious how the RIP works with this paper.  It does best in the 2200
when I set the Epson driver "Ink Config" "Color Density" (ink load) up to
the max +20%.  The paper really benefits from the maximum LK input.

Let me know how it work out.

Paul
