Digital BW, The Print

Howdy,

I use the Premier Art Hot Press 270 a lot, the natural finish version. I mostly use it for color where I get a 1.70 DMax using a 2200 using a profile I had made at Ink Jet Art. The paper is "floppy" compared to the 325 which is pretty stiff. The 270 definitely feeds into the printer easier in my experience. It is only single sided and for some reason the packaging does not say which side is up, it is easy to figure out tho.

I also use it a bit with the Piezotone K7 split tone setup on my other 2200. I used QTR to create my own curves, but I only get 1.62-1.63 Dmax with that setup. Despite the lowish DMax it does print nicely. 

So I like the paper quite a bit, it is pretty much my exclusive color paper, and one of a few papers in my B&W stable. Plus you simply can't beat the price. (I get it through Atlex which is back ordered as of yesterday.) 

Right On
John E
