Expensive mistake? Photorag Satin

2005-08-01 by colingruk

A dealer has set up in northern Greece importing Hahnemuele, Moab, 
and some other papers.  Stocks and range are limited but I bought a 
50 sheet box of A3+ (SuperB?) Photorag Satin for Euro 282 (US$344), 
as they had no A3.

I recently printed a sunrise image of Queen Victoria at Bryce taken 
this spring on William Turner using BO that I will enter for the next 
UK print exchange.  I printed this image on my 1290 using UT2 and 
Eboni, neutral setting with PR curve. It was dreadful!  A metallic 
sheen from whichever whichway I viewed it.  QTR users seem to like 
the paper but has anyone successfully used it with UT2?  If so how 
did they do it?

I printed the image as BO and found the velvet setting for this image 
better than the others, and I am really impressed.  But how to use 
this paper for other techniques, including (sorry OT) colour?

It is so expensive to test on, so some help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Colin
