Digital BW, The Print

I use photo black with Premier Art Platinum.  It's, in effect, in the
category of the "new technology" "glossy" papers like Crane Silver Rag.
With a new formula (not yet public from MIS) 260 PKN2 for the R260 I'm
getting about a 2.25 dmax and a tonal distribution that has a Lab B that is
about equal to the paper (Lab B=2) and then at about 50% starts into a
straight line slope to a 100% black at Lab B = -2.  Some would say this is
close to a lightly selenium toned silver print.  The paper has a fine,
almost canvass like texture.  With the 260 and QTR in black only mode, the
paper makes a very nice display for those who like a bit of paper texture.
(The QTR version that supports the 260 is in beta now.  The 260 Epson driver
does not support Black Only.  For the Epson drive I've made a full
R2-replacment set.  This is also in beta now.)

 

(I found Eboni smeared.)

 

Hope this helps.
