hello
my 2 cents from my experience.
for color i use Arches Infinity-it is too expensive
and a bit fragile, but I get really nice color on it-i
did get a custom profile made for it. i use a 2200 for
color. EEM has proven to be a good color proof paper
for me.
for b&w i use Premier Hot Press. it is very similar to
Moab Entrada but it doesn't flake as much, in fact i
never have flaking problems with PHP. it also can take
more ink than Entrada so i get a touch more Dmax on
the paper. also it is two sided which is great for
testing shots or for profiling. once i run out of
Arches I am thinking of going to PHP for color as
well. it has a lot to like-cheaper than Photo Rag,
cheaper than Arches, 100% cotton, no obas, nice
weight, etc etc. i use an epson 1200 with MIS UT1 and
QTR to print.
so in the end-a plug from a PHP guy.
right on
john e
