Re: Crane Portfolio Rag DMAX

2007-08-01 by Tyler Boley

I can't remember what I  got on it, but it was certainly not up to
what we normally expect and I bagged it. Check all your densities
between 90% and 100%, it shoulders over and you may find a limit spot
with higher density.
Fail to see what people like about this paper compared to the options,
other than it's tough coating. Pretty low total ink capability as
well. Very persistent hard curl from rolls.

Other than all that, gorgeous stuff! <G>
