Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the info on Cranes Silver Reg. I shall wait for it too! To bad that it is so 
diffecould to find Cranes paperes in Europa.

With the Photo Rag Satin I use mat ink in my R1800 but I give it and after lack with R1800 
gloss lack with out any picture printed just to take away the brouncing. It looks to me like 
the Dmax is alot higher than Hanemüle photo rag or any of epsons rag paperes. I am 
dreaming aswell of the fell and dmax of traditional air dried glossy fibre-based paper.

I am testing in the next month diffent coatings and have ordered ClearShields Mat and 
gloss and Satin coatings to see if I can find someting between mat and glossy with a feel 
of real paper. 

It sounds like Premier Luster Rag is not so good as I had hoped but still I like to test it!

Would love to hear about your impressions when you have tested the Crane's Silver Rag!

Kind regarts

Joakim
