RE: [Digital BW] innova semi matte

Does this paper have less of a curl problem than the F-gloss?

Best regards,
John Moody

Subject: [Digital BW] innova semi matte


Just got my box of innova semi matte. I am the guy that expressed
disappointment with the innova f type glossy because the gloss
differential was just as pronounced as with any other paper. (others
argued the point, but it was sitting right there)
Well, the innova semi matte is way better. The paper seems to tame
the gloss of the inks. With the f type, the inks were like a glossy
sticker that you were tempted to peel off the paper. with the semi
matte, the inks are much less glossy, and match the gloss of the
paper nicely. The surface is actually smoother that the f type
glossy. The f-type has little parallel lines in the surface that
affected the image under certain conditions. The semi matte has a
smooth surface with no lines it. I am much more pleased with this
paper. I dont think I will be spraying it either, which is very nice.
