Dmax of Claria inks

2006-12-10 by Greg

Is anyone using any of the Claria ink printers? I'm doing some testing
with another person and just made some measurements on a few different
papers. I have to say I'm not real impressed with the dmax on matte
papers, they are much higher than they should be for a dye ink. Here's
what I have:
paper              L                a               b
EEM 		20.79592	1.492584	 0.9187269
HWM 		15.01176	0.7535551	-0.5273904
Merlin Natural 	18.18041	0.7569027	-0.5177056
PGPP 		2.541729	0.1924215	-2.284739

PGPP being the only gloss paper in this test. And it looks like all
the papers except Merlin Natural have OBA. Measured with my
Spectroscan/Spectrolino, clear filter, on the black background.
