Digital BW, The Print

I've BETA tested this paper using QTR and Paul's curves, and YES indeed
it's "warmer"..Probably due to the lack of OBA's..However I personally think
the results are stunning, especially after spraying with PREMIERE art
shield..it does "even-out" what minor gloss differential you see with any
"bare" paper white..
For QTR, I'm using the "premium lustre" paper setting with the premioum
lustre curves (30% carbon/70% neutral).. ..Works fine for me!..

Subject: [Digital BW] Silver rag on a 1280 with UT2 inks


I used Museo Silver Rag on a 1280 with UT2 inks for the first time
today.  My comparison is the same print on EEM using Paul Roark's QTR
profile (Carbon).  I used the Premium Semigloss eboni curve, the photo
paper setting and 2800.

A few reactions.  There was very little,if any,bronzing. Even under a
very bright light all I could see were some glints from the surface
texture.  Without ajdustments, the print was warmer than the EEM
version, more towards Sepia than the standard Carbon tone, and lower
in contrast.  I tried using the Photo film setting, but that did not
help matters.  However, an additional contrast curve seems to do the
trick.

While I have no basis for comparison with other printers and inks, the
paper works well on a 1280 with UT2 inks.  I have no idea whether or
not it is closer to a "real" photograph than other inkjet prints and
don't really think it maters.  However, the output is stunning in its
own right.
