Re: Why EEM Is A Good Proof Paper

2007-05-01 by djon43

I don't think "proof paper" a logical concept for inkjet printing, and
I doubt many have ever bought EEM primarily for that purpose. 

If a paper "proof" needs to closely approximate the character of a
finished print then one should logically use a smaller piece of the
final print paper... the way professional photo labs have always done
it, now far easier with inkjet.

One of the sweet technical characteristics of digital printing is the
absence of exposure adjustment between small prints (eg "proofs") and
big prints...IMO that's the best argument for proofing small on your
final paper type, especially if that final print paper is expensive.
Why risk proofing on a lesser paper? 


"So if you're
using one of the moderately warm tone matte papers for final prints,
EEM is hard to beat. It's been pretty much a universal proof paper
for a long time.---  "Clayton Jones" <cj@...>"
