Re: [Digital BW] QC of Hawk Mountain Papers?

2005-12-13 by Greg

Something to note:

Notice that Hawk Mountain sells what they call proofing quality 
papers made of the same materials as the premium papers. No one can 
be 100%. They seem to catch most of the blemished bits and use them 
for other things. That should even things out to less defective 
premium product that ships.

The only real negative I can find is dmax on some papers with certain 
matte black inks. I don't remember which papers were good, and which 
papers were not, it's on the list to test for my paper swatch book. 
Last time I tested with Eboni black, and two papers and all the 
canvas were good, but several papers had a low dmax. Different inks, 
different RIP, more control. The Innova papers turned out better this 
time, I'm hoping that most of the Hawk Mountain papers will turn out 
better this time too.
