Digital BW, The Print

I recently received some samples of paper from Hawk Mountain and gave them a
quick test on a 1280 with UT2 installed.  In that past, only Condor has had
a strong enough dmax (at least 1.6) to be of interest to me.  In this sample
of paper, this pattern largely continued.  

 

Here are the dmax readings for the papers I received:

 

Condor BW -- Dmax of 1.62, and very cold.  This paper is very similar to the
old Eclipse paper.

 

Kestrel Brite White -- This cold press paper printed quite well, with a dmax
of 1.60 using "Photo Quality Glossy Film" paper type.  For those who like a
textured and fairly cold paper, this 310 gsm paper might be worth trying.

 

Osprey Natural -- Dmax 1.53.

 

Merlin Photo -- Dmax 1.53.

 

Merlin Smooth -- Dmax of 1.54. 

 

Merlin Velvet -- Dmax of 1.48 using "Photo Quality Glossy Film."
