Re: [Digital BW] Innova Fibaprint Paper Feed

2006-04-06 by Carl Schofield

I'll try.  I'm using sheets (11x17) with MIS K4 inks in the 2400 and  
4000 (minus LLK and with ColorBurst RIP in the latter).  Bright white  
color (I assume lots of OBs).  Stiff (they all seem to have this  
characteristic) but not curled.  Texture and gloss both only slightly  
more than a sheet of air dried Oriental Seagull F Glossy silver gel  
paper.  Dmax about 2.2 but the bright white surface and soft gloss  
produces very deep blacks and high contrast.  I like it and would  
like it even more with just a tad less texture and gloss.  B&W prints  
are what I would call "punchy" on this paper.
