Holy Grail Writer Follow-up

2005-10-12 by davedoughman

Many thanks for the outstanding replies on my Holy Grail request for
help. So far - I have tried Clayton Jones Epson 2400 recommendations
using each of his "A" list papers (except PhotoRag 308). All the
papers looked very similiar with the image I was using (a B&W
converted image I took in Lower Antelope Canyon) very minor
differences only noticeable with close side by side comparison -
Except that Hawk Mountain Merlin Brightwhite produced cleaner/less
warm grays - more neutral grays under  incandescentlight. Too early to
tell if its the light, the paper or the image as this is my first test.

I can remember my steep learning curve as I started printing color,
frustrated with what I saw then learned about color profileing, better
papers and printers, etc. Guess I'm now on my B&W learning curve
thanks to this group and your excellent help

Anyone out there in Saint George, Utah area that would like to get
together and compare B&W printing method samples? Its all interesting
theory until you have an actual print in hand!

Thanks again
Dave
