Digital BW, The Print

The Red River Aurora Natural is a nice, smooth non-OBA paper similar to
Premier Art 205 (Epson Scrapbook), but the paper base is just slightly
whiter.  The dmax was about 1.62 with the 3-MK approach.  The brightened
version didn't make the cut at 1.56.  While it's not in your list, Polar is
like Premier Art's Matte BW, with a 1.69 dmax and very cold base.  I didn't
try any of the glossy papers due to my view that MK is not the right ink for
that surface.

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Red River Greenpix recycled paper

 

I just discovered Red River Paper. Has anyone tried their Aurora
Natural, River Linen, LuxArt Satin Rag for BW printing? Or 3MK? 

Any comments on dmax or subjective feeling, banding, flacking etc. 

Many thanks,

Denis Bouchard
