Digital BW, The Print

Well, my roll came in to test. Sorting out all the differences and
preferences between it, FibaPrint Gloss, and Silver Rag is going to be
interesting.
The surface seems a bit more matte than the FibaPrint, closer to
Silver Rag. But it does have a minute pebble to it, in fact similar to
what we did call a pearl in silver papers, very slightly more
pronounced than SilverRag. It also doesn't seem to gloss as much as
FibaPrint when ink goes down. FibaPrint's surface looks the most
irregular and least synthetic to me, with more variation in the
texture, than the other two. I just wish some of the more pronounced
divits were not there.
The Pearl is supposed to have the most brighteners, and it is brighter
than the Innova, but surprisingly, not bluer.
After more linearizing and profiling, then actual printing, I'll know
more.
I intend to run sample prints from all three papers by some very
demanding master darkroom printers, that will be revealing.
