Re: innova f-type glossy

2007-01-26 by john dean

I think this is a very fine paper even if it is too expensive right
now. It has become extremely popular with people using the K3 inksets
on it. If it looks cheap something is wrong with the workflow. It
certainly is thick enough. You know they do make a warm version of it
now similar to Silver Rag. I think we all would like to see a little
less texture but evidently that is coming if it isn't already
available. When it is sprayed with Premier Art it really comes together.
