Digital BW, The Print

The Ilford Classic is for dyes.  It will probably not dry.  The Smooth is
what we need for pigments.

For less bronzing, try Epson Premium Semimatte, or Costco Kirkland Signature
Pre Glossy for 8x10.  Epson Glossy Photo paper is the only one that has
virtually no reflective artifacts without either a spray or glop.  However,
it's only letter size, a bit flimsy, and doesn't have the best dmax.

PremierArt Print Shield spray will get rid of bronzing.  Glop will get rid
of it on the best papers and reduce it on many others.

Subject: [Digital BW] Bronzing


Is there a difference between Ilford Smooth Pearl and Ilford Classic Pearl?
I just printed a B&W image on ICP using QTR on an Epson 4000 and it looks
great to me. I don't know that I've ever seen anything that I would call
"bronzing" with any of the papers and printers I've used. I've certainly
seen metamerism from my 1280 but I wouldn't call that bronzing.

Subject: B&W on Ilford Smooth Pearl



I have tried to print black/white using the Quad Tone rip with my 
Epson 4000 and Ilford Smooth pearl paper. The B&W was beautiful, but 
the bronzing was severe. Any hints on how to imrove the result?
