Re: [Digital BW] Legion Photo Matte, the "acid " Test

Jerry,

I am making some more prints on the Legion Photo Matte with the Piezo 
inks. I have noticed there is a significant "dry up" time. At least 5 
minutes, maybe more before it dries and the blacks reach Dmax. It 
looks terrible when it first comes out of the printer with very weak 
blacks until dry. Biggest change I have seen yet in a paper. Little 
warming in the 1st 24 hours.

Typical warm/green Piezo tone under halogen and tungsten. Took it out 
doors and it looked completely neutral. I am more convinced that the 
majority of the Piezo green issue is metamerism.

It is still startling to work with such white paper. Really makes the 
highlights pop. I'm warming up to the cool tone.
