Re: And the (Dmax) Winner Is....

David;

I measured the warm version of that paper a while back; uncoated it 
gave me a 2.5  A day later I gave it a couple light coats of MIS Gloss 
Optimizer, and a few hours later it measured a 2.85, not only the 
highest reading I've gotten, but probably the biggest shift as well. 
Now, a couple months later its down to ...only 2.74!!!

And of course the rag paper looks and feels like a much higher quality 
product, at least while its in your hand. Not sure how much difference 
that would make behind glass.

The RC paper is also very inexpensive, about .47 US a sheet. But we 
don't have any idea how it will hold up at this point, I wouldn't buy 
too much of it, or trust it to archival applications just yet.

Regards
