Re: Problems with EEM (EUPPPM)

2007-01-23 by lou4photo

No replies to my original post about having difficulty getting prints 
on EEM (K3 MK)without shiny surface artifacts up the gray scale to 
the midtones. I was looking for an alternative paper for proofing. 
However soon after my post I found a similar thread on the Epson wide 
format that I pasted below in case anyone is interested. Since, I 
have secured some samples of the Red River Polar Matte. WOW! Great 
dmax (much better than the Epson HyWt Matte I was using)and ink 
laydown was like velvet-smooth and dead matte all the way to 100%. No 
shiny bloches. Its a very cool tone paper and acid free. A plus was 
that it was a very close match to HPR with only a very slight curve 
needed. It cost a bit more than the paper I was using but the prints 
had me smiling again. I got some Sparrowhawk coming I'll let you know 
how it fares.

The list from the replies looks like this;

> Harman Matte
> Entrada 300

I find the Inkpress Photo Rag papers best, and they're not pricey.
