Re: [Digital BW] Premier Luster Rag, Hahnemühle Photo Rag Satin and Crane Silver Rag

2005-11-24 by Greg

I am still testing a box of the HPRSatin. It's an odd paper, but it 
does give some good performance. The dmax is no better than what I 
get with other Hahnemuhle papers, but the ink dots seem to be less 
visible than some of the other papers. The change in gloss from no 
ink to heavy ink is a bit of a problem. I think the "new" super gloss 
inks will actually be a detriment for this paper. But if you use 
matte black and print black only, this paper should be a very nice 
paper, with an even soft gloss across the entire image. Or if you 
spray GLOP on the unprinted areas, then you will also have a nice 
even semi gloss print.

So as I said, I still have mixed feelings about the HPRSatin paper.
