Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul. Just curious -- what was the problem you saw with the images
printed on Infinity and Museo? The b&w images I print on these are
pretty much indestinguishable from prints made on EEM, Premier Art Hot
Press, and Moab Entrada when I linearize using transfer curves. I
think the dMax I get on Museo is a tad low (~1.58 - 1.6) but this
isn't really apparent when viewing the finished print. I *never* see
flaking on the Infinity or Museo; the Infinity is slightly smoother,
so I find that I use it more often. I like them because they are
heavy, smooth, and relatively bright for all-cotton papers without
OBAs. Nicely packaged without any camber. I am always looking for new
papers, though. I just started testing Hawk Mountain Merlin Natural.
