RE: [Digital BW] Re: Museo MAX

2005-10-29 by Timothy Atherton

I've tried some - very briefly so far - more surface texture than I remember
the Museo having (none on hand right now) - verging towards the Epson
Watercolour type of surface (though not quite so pronounced).

Only tried B&W using QTR - looks pretty good, but I'd say it gives me about
the same look as I get right now with Arches Infinity - D-Max looks roughly
the same (and about the same as Dourian Art by Red River - in fact it has a
very similar feel to the Dourian) - just measured by the MkI eyeball. I
found it wasn't quite as crisp/sharp as the Arches, which is about the
sharpest/crispest paper I've used - so probably in line with most of the
other better papers.

Obviously I've only run two or three sheets through so it's not an
exhaustive test, but I was a bit disappointed - it came out roughly the same
as the two best papers I have found for my own use - and has a bit more
texture them, and more than I like(paper has a very similar feel and texture
to some of the lesser textured Innova papers - darned if I can remember all
their names - maybe the soft textured)

It's certainly a nice paper - and will be up there in the top of the list no
doubt, but I don't feel it's a quantum leap...

BTW the promo info only lists rolls - haven't asked if they are going to do
sheets
