Re: new papers (Silver Rag, Innova, 'Muhle) and BO printing?

2006-09-25 by Shilesh Jani

Sarah,

For you......just for you, I printed BO on Silver Rag using a 4000 
loaded with 4800 K3 PK, at 2880 dpi.

What would you like to know?

Superb Dmax (>2.5)
Minimal graininess visible to naked eye
Creamy warm color on the warm(ish) paper
Some bronzing/gloss differential; easily eliminated with a single-
pass overcoat of GLOP (50% ink limit). GLOP increases Dmax to >2.65; 
this is the highest Dmax I have EVER measured with pigment inks.

I have not linearized the output, but boy this is definitely a viable 
option for those with printer/driver capable of BO.

Best regards.

Shilesh
