Re: HPR alternative?

Hello Walt,

Same here.  With eboni BO (and other Eboni based inks sets) HPR is
gorgeous.  But with K3 not only is its dmax a tad lower, but I find it
difficult to get a satisfying color tone.  Do you find that?


>the texture of the VFA does not obscure detail. 

Also agreed.  I was doubtful of it at first, but soon realized it
doesn't affect the print the way some other textured papers do.  The
"crevices" between the bumps don't go very deep.  Nice stuff.


Regards,
Clayton
