Digital BW, The Print

Hi Richard,

 

 

>> In general the Lasal's coating is ...

>> rather similar to Premier Art Matte BW and Red River's Polar.

 

>How would you say the dmax compares with PremierArt Matte BW?

 

In my same-day measure, after a hair drier, these are the numbers I got:

 

Premier Art Matte BW: L 15.4 or 15.0 (I have 2 recorded measures)

 

Moab Lasal: L 16.3

 

Note that there is a lot of dmax information in the linearization tabs of
the QTR profiles.  So, for dmax for the 1800 and Eboni, just start pulling
up my QTR profiles with the Curve Creator and look at the last number in the
linearization tab.  That gives you the Lab L reading for the 100% patch of
each paper profiled.

That's why we do it.  ;)
