Re: [Digital BW] Hahnemuhle FineArt Pearl - glossy or matte black?

2006-08-06 by Daniel Staver

Hi David,

I think it uses glossy inks. With the UT7 inkset C and M can serve as
glossy inks. You can try to use these curves as a starting point:

I haven't tried FAP myself though, so I can't guarantee good results.

Versions with GLOP included. On EPSG GLOP makes a visible difference. On
DaVinci Fibre Gloss I could hardly tell it was there, so it varies from
paper to paper.

Just remove the previous linearization data and relinearize. If the tonal
range is very different on FAP you might want to tweak shadow, highlight
and gamma a little before linearizing.
