Digital BW, The Print

This is after doing some more small prints on these papers.
Interestingly, some manufacturers coatings create slightly different
hues with monochrome inks. This is different fromt the effect of the
paper base. The most dramatic example I have run across is Hawk
Mountain's papers. Those I have tested, Merlin being the best for the
inks I use, all seem to yeild a significantly cooler print, as
mentioned by Clayton Jones.
The Innova papers also have a very slight effect on hue, slightly
cooler than the Hahnemuhle papers normally used here. This is barely
noticable with Cone's Selenium ink set, and more noticable with the
warm set. It is still warm, but I'd say it is just a bit less yellow,
resulting in a nice elegant warm print tone. With my test image, it
also seemed to have a bit more dimension, indicating the cooler tone
may vary slightly in different parts of the scale. This did seem to be
the case.
I would not say there is any solution to scuffing or flaking with this
paper. There may be some slight improvement over the Hahnemuhle papers
but these prints still need to be handled with care.
I still recommend trying this brand, I'll be using more and more of it.
