Re: Glossy paper preferences?

2006-03-31 by Helen Bach

I like glossy papers, just as I liked glazed (ferrotyped in US
English) fibre-based papers. Definition, detail and depth.

My suggestions for K3 inks:

Inkjetart Microceramic Plus (=Premier Photo High Gloss Heavy)
Red River Polar Glossy
Epson Premium Glossy

Innova Fibaprint Glossy (also sold as Da Vinci) for a slightly
textured surface

Pictorico White Film for a Cibachrome sort of look

The Innova paper is usually assumed to be silver gelatin fibre-based
paper by people who haven't been told what it is. This is a bit of an
insult, as I'm getting a D-max of 2.65 with it.

Best,
Helen
