Digital BW, The Print

hi Julian,

Well, on the B&W I had actually bought a roll of WT 310 just before PR came
out, so I was pretty-much committed. Yes, I second your thoughts on it being
warmer than Photo Rag, but on this occasion, I am very happy with that - the
photos are of Prague and all have a kind of warm-and-worn feel to them. So,
for this I found the warmer tone just right (I even have a couple of images
I might purposefully print onto Somerset Velvet Enh Rad White to push the
warmth / age aspect).

As for the Colour being on PhotoRag, I have to admit that a lot of the
reasoning for this is down to it being a fairly neutral paper to stick
colour on-top of, and I found the Piezo Cone Matte profile a pretty good
hit... I still had nightmares adjusting the tone / colour sof the image
exactly how I wanted, but the screen softproof gave fairly accurate
indications of the print. Somehow, seeing the print is ALWAYS more important
though! The Pigment inks also gave a very good response with 'the colours of
Prague' which are all quite 'earthy' and muted, rich colours.

I think that's it!
