Re: Permjet's Semi Gloss Fine Art Paper

Hi

I tried it when I was doing a review of the MonoChromePro ink set from PermaJet. I was 
unable to get good results with either the Textured Art Silk or the Smooth Art Silk.

With that ink set, the black came out very flat, and the other inks too glossy.

I've covered this in a look at the papers

and the original B/W printing review
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/monochromepro_review.html

I got PermaJet to send samples of all their papers to ColorByte and they have produced 
sets of profiles for the smooth and textured versions. Using the ImagePrint RIP I get very 
good results with both papers, a nice good even sheen that works rather well both for 
colour and B/W (Epson 9600 Mk black)

Incidentally I've put all the MonoChromePro 1290 QTR curves I did for the review 
(ImageLife Alpha, Delta Matt Fibre. Portrait Classic, Museum Classic, Matt plus), on the 
Northlight site on the ImagePrint media settings page

bye for now
