Digital BW, The Print

Based on the mention of Red River here a few times I went back and have
taken a second look at their papers.  I must say the Red River Aurora
Natural is one heck of a bargain.  See
http://www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/auroranatural.html   It looks a lot
like Moab Entrada Natural, with a dmax that is a hair less, and a price that
is way less.  It's even less than the Premier Art 205 that I think is a
bargain.

 

Red River is now on my preferred paper list.  A set of QTR curves for R1800
3-MK workflow are posted at

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.

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
