Re: [Digital BW] Re: Non resin-coated glossy papers

Steve,

You said, " For a neutral paper, the new Fibaprint Ultrasmooth glossy is a 
dead ringer for air-dried glossy FB paper..."

Can you tell us about the gloss differential?

On all the papers I have tried so far, using Ultrachrome K3 inks, the inks 
are far glossier than the paper, resulting in obvious dull patches wherever 
there is little or no ink. Ideally, for my purposes, the paper should have 
exactly the same gloss as the ink. Can you tell us if this new Fibaprint 
Ultrasmooth glossy at least comes closer than other glossy papers you have 
tried?
